Tuskegee would have merely replaced one entanglement with another.
However, Reverby's knowledge and skill are evident on virtually
every page. Written in a clear and engaging style buttressed by
convincing and exhaustive research, this book is likely to remain
the essential monograph on the subject for years to come.--Journal
