Secret History of the War on Cancer

Davis is meticulous about citing her sources - those with no life might like to try and trip her up. To say I read this with my jaw on the floor would be an understatement. Sometimes you have to read books that upset you or in this case make you mad. This book shows how big business - not just the tobacco companies although they are equally complicit - deliberately suppressed information that would either harm sales or productivity. They were further ahead with cancer research in 1936(!!!!!) than we are today. Go figure. Still shaking my head in disgust.....This is a book which I'm surprised got published but you need to read it and you need to understand that USA (or UK for that matter - we didn't introduce regular pap screening until the 80's) way isn't always the best.
