The 1964 murder of the nationally known cancer researcher sets the stage

for this gripping expose of doctors enmeshed in covert

government operations over the course of three decades. Carrying out a

trail of police records, FBI files, cancer statistics, and medical

journals, this revealing book presents evidence of an internet of medical

secret-keeping that began using the handling of evidence in the JFK

assassination and continued apace, sweeping doctors into coverups of

cancer outbreaks, contaminated polio vaccine, the appearance of the AIDS

trojan, and biological tool analysis using infected monkeys.
