Autorenporträt
In 1970, Christopher Pyle disclosed the military’s surveillance of civilian politics in a pair of award-winning articles. As a former captain in Army intelligence, he also recruited 125 former agents to tell what they knew about that spying to Congress, the courts, and the press. Those disclosures ended the Army’s domestic spying and began a series of investigations into the misuse of intelligence agencies that historians now refer to as the Watergate era. Pyle worked on those investigations a consultant to Senator Sam J. Ervin’s Subcommittee on Constitutional Rights and Senator Frank Church’s Select Committee on Intelligence. Since 1976, he has taught constitutional law and civil liberties at Mount Holyoke College and written extensively on freedom of expression, equal protection of the laws, and rights of privacy. Pyle is the author of four books, the most recent, Extradition, Politics, and Human Rights, analyzes how the United States went from being a nation of asylum for foreign revolutionaries in the nineteenth century to become the long arm of foreign injustice in the twentieth. He lives in South Hadley, MA.
