Review
"How such an intelligent and gifted young physician could betray everything that medicine - not to mention Western civilization - stood for, is the main theme of Schmidt's spellbinding book....Although Schmidt's book is historical and cannot be classified as part of the modern-day 'culture wars, ' its conclusion carries a powerful lesson for medical ethics in our own time." - First Things--, "First Things "
