AUPresses is an organization of over 140 international
nonprofit scholarly publishers. Since 1937, the
Association of University Presses has advanced the
essential role of a global community of publishers
whose mission is to ensure academic excellence and
cultivate knowledge. The association holds integrity,
diversity, stewardship, and intellectual freedom as core
values. AUPresses’ members are active across many
scholarly disciplines, including the humanities, arts, and
sciences; publish significant regional and literary work;

“The slogan ‘speaking truth to power’ assumes
that intellectuals are more willing than others to
challenge the highest authorities. This superb
collection of essays raises doubts about this
notion. All too often, the world’s most repressive
tyrants have attracted legions of myrmidons
willing to sing their praises. Courageous
intellectuals like Václav Havel and Nelson
Mandela have been far more the exception than
the norm.” —Mark Kramer, Harvard University

Moments of Truth
A Photographer’s Experience
of Kent State 1970
by howard ruffner
Howard Ruffner was a college sophomore when
the tragic shootings of May 4, 1970, occurred—
leaving four students dead and nine wounded. A
student photographer, he was asked to serve as
a stringer for Life magazine as campus protests
against the Vietnam War intensified and National
Guard troops arrived. Several of his photographs,
including one from the cover of Life, have
been etched into our collective consciousness.
Includes 150 photographs, many never before
published, alongside Ruffner’s reflections.

The Glory and the Burden
The American Presidency
from FDR to Trump
by robert schmuhl
“In The Glory and the Burden, Robert Schmuhl
offers his ‘summary reflections’ on the critical
institution of the presidency. It looks at the
big picture of how the office has functioned
and who wins it. It’s the kind of book that
every American should read in the run-up
to the next presidential election.”
