520    "A shocking exposé of sexual abuse and the struggle for 
       justice at one of America's most prestigious schools The 
       Horace Mann School, located in the Riverdale section of 
       the Bronx, represents the pinnacle of private education. 
       With all its accolades and prestige, few could have 
       anticipated the scandal that erupted in 2012 when The New 
       York Times Magazine ran a cover story by the journalist 
       and Horace Mann alumnus Amos Kamil detailing a decades-
       long pattern of sexual abuse by teachers. In Great Is the 
       Truth, Kamil and his coauthor, Sean Elder, uncover the 
       full story of what happened at Horace Mann, and recount 
       what has occurred in the aftermath of Kamil's watershed 
       article. With craft and poise, they reveal a high-stakes 
       environment of demanding academics and barely hidden 
       debauchery, where many faculty members exploited their 
       unchecked and undue influence to horrifying ends. Fast-
       forwarding to the present, Kamil and Elder relate how 
       survivors emerged and petitioned for redress with the aid 
       of celebrity lawyers while administrators and trustees 
       scrambled to protect the school and themselves. They also 
       look closely at how other schools have responded to 
       scandal, often with far greater compassion and candor. How
       can institutions rectify their complicity in abuse and 
       prevent it from recurring? How can victims achieve their 
       due? "Great is the truth and it prevails," may be the 
       motto of Horace Mann, but for many alumni, the truth 
       remains all too hard to come by"--|cProvided by publisher.

       the Horace Mann School and how their discovery upended the
       school and the world of private education"--|cProvided by
