Rating: 5
Summary: *Absolutely* A Must Read
Comment: Through hundreds of well-documented examples Andrew Goliszek brilliantly answers the key ethical question for Science in the modern era, and that is:
Is it OK to experiment on humans without their consent?
And you reader, after being shocked/horrified by the sooooo many examples of perfidy (too many to name or prioritize in this concise review) will agree & be outraged enough to answer unequivocally:
NO!
GET THIS BOOK & READ IT CAREFULLY.
Rating: 5
Summary: Reads like a thriller, until you realize it's not fiction
Comment: I read the book after listening to the author on "Power-Hour" with Joyce Riley, the former army nurse who was one of the first to break the story of Gulf War Illness. First, I must say that In the Name of Science is easy to read. Dr. Goliszek writes for the non-science type and makes the true stories interesting. Some of the stuff is harrowing. The descriptions of human experiments are gruesome, but the author does a good job of documenting what he writes about. By the middle of the book, you wonder how people can get away with this, but it's precisely because of books like this that we hope it doesn't happen again.
Rating: 5
Summary: Disturbing but excellent
Comment: A lot of readers may find this book disturbing. Some may find it unbelievable. Critics, especially those who believe that governments don't do things like this, might take issue with the author's style, which is basically to expose horror after horror and lay open the reality of human experimentation as it has been practiced and is still being practiced today. For those of us who want to know and be vigilent so that these practices never happen again, In the Name of Science is a book that will keep you riveted. From the opening chapters, which describe experiments with chemical and biological agents to the last two chapters, which describe ethnic weapons and what the future holds to the more than 100 pages of appendices (declassified documents, letters, memos, etc.), Goliszek does a good job of detailing what many of us don't want to hear but need to. It's a book that everyone ought to read.
