The 1964 murder of a nationally known cancer researcher sets the stage
for this gripping exposé of medical professionals enmeshed in covert
government operations over the course of three decades. Following a
trail of police records, FBI files, cancer statistics, and medical
journals, this revealing book presents evidence of a web of medical
secret-keeping that began with the handling of evidence in the JFK
assassination and continued apace, sweeping doctors into coverups of
cancer outbreaks, contaminated polio vaccine, the arrival of the AIDS
virus, and biological weapon research using infected monkeys.
A former advertising music director, Edward T. Haslam is the author of Mary, Ferrie and the Monkey Virus: The Story of an Underground Medical Library. He lives in Bradenton, Florida.
