Review # 1 was written on 2019-08-14 00:00:00 Stuart Rinehart I tried to finish this book. I really did, but it was such a slog, and I have so many better books on my to-read list.... Even for academic writing, this is agonizingly dry. Weindling's writing also suffers from a lack of focus or a clear central thesis. The chapters are disjointed, and the connection between sections--and even between sentences--is often unclear. I felt as if I was reading a series of disorganized research notes rather than a completed study. Given their historical and ethical importance, it is unfortunate that there is such a lack of accessible and readable literature on the Nuremberg Medical Trials. If you're lucky enough to have access to a copy, Alexander Mitscherlich's " Doctors of Infamy is an excellent overview, but is limited in scope. Otherwise, things are pretty sparse.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-07-05 00:00:00 Jerome Stewart Not a book for easy reading, this will be of interest to those concerned with medical experiments and research. Pretty dry writing, with a lot of details regarding the lead-up to the Nuremberg Medical Trials and its consequences to modern medicine. I'm glad to have read through it (more knowledge is always welcome), but not really a book I would go back to.
