Review
“A significant contribution to the field. It provides very important empirical information as well as intellectual insights on subjects of vital concern to all students of the Soviet period.”—Samuel C. Ramer, Tulane University
“Covers a wider range of topics than previous histories of Soviet medicine in English and has the advantage of spanning the entire Soviet period. Most important, the book challenges the field to take medical history more seriously and to think about its larger implications for our understandings of the Soviet past. There is nothing else like it in the field of Soviet medical history.”—Kenneth Pinnow, Allegheny College
