Reviews

...this book is very good scholarship: thoroughly researched, well-placed in a broader in a historical context, full of curious incidents and contacts (Lindbergh was a close friend). * Robert Paxton, Columbia University This is a good and important piece of work that brilliantly brings together the social histories of an individual life, of science, and of ultra-right public policy. Also because of Carrel's unique careers in the US and France, this work does justice to the international connections of medicine, science, and public social policy. * Herman Lebovics, SUNY, Stony Brook
