Description

Nigel Biggar is one of Oxford's most eminent professors of ethics, yet he found himself at the center of a firestorm for simply suggesting that British history contains reasons for both "shame and pride."


From mass online petitions to having a major book deal canceled by junior staff who found his work "problematic," Nigel’s story is a chilling example of what happens when one man stands against the institutional machine.
