In 1984, a book called The Great Brain Robbery: Canada's Universities on the Road to Ruin became a controversial bestseller and caused a media uproar.
Canada has undergone drastic changes since then. The Great Brain Robbery's authors, renowned historians David Bercuson, Robert Bothwell, and J.L. Granatstein, felt compelled to re-examine Canada's university system for the nineties. What they found there did not please them, and the impact it will have on all Canadians could be disastrous.
