Review
"As Goliszek writes in this excellent book, people
throughout history have used their fellow human beings for
experimentation, and most often in the name of military or financial
domination....Goliszek is a riveting storyteller....In an era when
"weapons of mass destruction" is a buzz word, this is a must
read."
--Publishers Weekly (Starred review)
Full Description
A documentary frequently airs on Discovery Channel
about some of the ways the US government secretly experimented on its
citizens in the 20th century: injecting people with plutonium
to watch how they die, dropping chemical weapons on elementary schools
in Minnesota and in major cities like San Francisco and New York, to
watch how it spread. It is horrifying and riveting. Now, one of
the nation’s leading experts on the subject,who has devoted years to
researching the subject, will write the definitive book.
This
book offers a look at
the dark side of history, a history which few people know. For thousands
of years, mankind, in one way or another, has been engaged in research
involving human subjects. From Japanese plans to attack America with
planes full of plague-infected fleas to the Nazi war camps to
CIA-sponsored mind-control programs and radiation exposure experiments,
this book introduces readers to the terrifying world of biowarfare,
genetic engineering, ethnic weapons, secret cancer virus programs, and
AIDS research. Replete with over a thousand references, it will be the
first and definitive book on the subject. The best way to ensure that
history is not repeated is to disclose the truth and learn from the
past. This book will do just that.
About the Author:
Andrew Goliszek, M.S., Ph.D. is also author of two stress
books, a stress management workshop kit, a medical school guide, and two
novels – one dealing with the origin of AIDS (Rivers of the Black
Moon: TOR Books), the other with biological warfare and genetic
engineering (World Order: Forge Books), which have been
translated into eleven languages. While doing research for his three
novels (which all include details of nefarious but factual government
activity), Dr. Goliszek became fascinated with the history of medical
research and human experimentation. He decided to write a book on the
subject with the belief that everyone has a right to the truth.
Dr.
Andrew Goliszek received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Biology and
Physiology from Utah State University, then spent 3 years as a
post-doctoral research fellow at the Wake Forest University School of
Medicine in both the department of Physiology and Pharmacology and the
department of Medicine. He is currently an Associate Professor of
Biology at North Carolina A&T State University where he teaches
Biology, Human Physiology, and Principles of Endocrinology. During the
past decade, he has received several biomedical research grants and has
been involved in various NIH-sponsored research projects in the areas of
neuroendocrinology and cardiovascular and stress physiology. He has also
given many stress management seminars and workshops to organizations,
individual groups, and major corporations. He
brings to the table a unique blend of scholarship (he is a Professor of
Biology at North Carolina State University) and an engaging, commercial
writing style.
