Abstract
Sometimes a book comes along that demands to be read. John Smyth's defiantly entitled book The Toxic University: Zombie leadership, academic rock stars, and neoliberal ideology is one of them. John Smyth who has spent the best part of forty years working inside universities is a critical sociologist of education, prolific author and academic dissident. Ironically, it has been in academic 'retirement' that Smyth has found the time to write this carefully crafted critique of what's happening to modern universities and those who inhabit them.
