Reviews for Bollingen
"Because we know so little about the role of foundations in American intellectual life, we welcome ... William McGuire's delightful chronicle of the Bollingen Foundation. Mr. McGuire ... writes as a participant, not as an outside historian. But he makes the most of his particular perspective... And he tempers his sympathetic attachment with a winning sense of irony, even irreverence."
