A son's courageous effort to clear his father's name, From Healing to Hell tells the needless tragedy of W. Henry Wall, M.D., a successful southwest Georgia physician and state senator of the mid-1900s. After Dr. Wall became unwittingly addicted to a prescription drug, he found himself trapped in a nightmarish chain of events. Arrested on federal drug charges, he was convicted and sentenced to the only U.S. prison for addicts. His community was shocked and his entire family including the author, then 17, was devastated. In prison, Dr. Wall was subjected against his will to the CIA's notorious MK Ultra drug experiments. The Wall family's half-century nightmare should give every American fair warning: while government is essential to protect us, its powers must never be left unchecked.

This book is SO well written and a definite page turner! What a riveting story and one that needed to be told, especially in the complicated, clandestine world in which we live. It is heartbreaking and encouraging at the same time, a poignant reminder of how a good man and family can get caught in a web and brought down, used and destroyed. It is also a reminder of how we need to be vigilant of our government, ourselves and the people around us while at the same time remaining faithful to our callings.

Normally I am not a huge reader and reading makes me tired. However, I read this book in a weekend. I was amazed at the detail provided in the story. It made me want to do more research on the topic. Thank you for sharing your story with us and bringing awareness to this issue.

This was one of the most intriguing books I have read in a long time. I found it hard to put it down. Sad to see what our government has done to american citizens. My compassion for the writer runs deep. How hard it must have been for him and his family.

Great Story,
I was interested in this book, because Dr. Wall was from Ellaville, GA, seeing as I have lived here since 1957 and know most of his kinfolks, I had never heard his story. Read more
