UCSD philosophy has an illuminating blog on the department history. One of the eye-opening posts is on Marcuse's FBI file. The book-report on One-Dimensional Man: "this book is heavily laden with philosophical terms; it is difficult to read and all but impossible to understand completely." (Thanks to Monte Johnson for the pointer.)
Next time you dismiss a book or work you have not read make sure you are not echoing FBI informants.
