此书获得“南洋大学陈六使出版基金”资助，列为“南洋大学弘毅丛书”    何启良的评论集《堡垒内外》是一部涵盖高等教育、政治观察与文化评论的综合性著作，展现了作者作为学者和知识分子对社会与文化的深刻思考。从目录可见，本书分为五辑，分别聚焦于大学教育的本质、社会政治现象的批判性解读、政治进步的必要性、知识分子的独立精神，以及对文学艺术作品的评论。附录<平生所学供埋骨——何启良生平问学访谈录>，以问答形式撰写他作为学人的学习经历及轶闻掌故。全书风格鲜明：直言不讳又不失学理支撑、冷静判断又不失温度与担当。卓福安在序言中称赞他"不觅封侯但觅诗"，恰如其分地概括了这位学者的精神追求——不以功名利禄为目标，而致力于思想的独立。 ·  每一篇短文都可分开阅读，然而合在一起，文章里所描写的时代、人物与事件便产生相呼应的互文性，能使读者产生更深刻的理解与饱满丰厚的临场感……启良先生在写评论时先提出核心问题，定义问题后，再进行分析与引证，叙述客观犀利且富历史脉络，其立论也往往独出机杼……读者可以感受到启良先生激烈锋锐外表之外的赤子之心，以及对“人淡如菊”、“眠云卧石”的淳朴与恬淡的向往。一切都写得真实有温度，文笔也崭露出诗人本色，富有想象空间且叙事入微。（卓福安,<不觅封侯但觅诗——序何启良评论集《堡垒内外》>）（文藻外语大学应用华语文系系主任/ 副教授） ·
