The forty-year Tuskegee Syphilis Study which took place from the 1930s to the 1970s, has become a metaphor for medical racism, government malfeasance, and physician arrogance. Susan M. Reverby provides a comprehensive analysis of the notorious study of untreated syphilis among African American men. With rigorous clarity, Reverby investigates the study and its aftermath from multiple perspectives.
