"This book concentrates on the medical drama, the actual wounds of Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy, and the doctors' valiant but vain efforts to forestall death. In the enthralling medical whodunit style of De Kruif and Berton Roueche, it focuses on the futile and sometimes faulty, life saving measures of the physicians. Thus it provides a vivid glimpse of the real progress in American medicine, and of the shortcomings that may have cost the lives of two Chief Executives. The eerie parallels between the Lincoln and the Kennedy shootings are disclosed, including the way the Lincoln autopsy findings guided the investigation of Kennedy's assassination." A interesting book that is history that you will love reading. A good price for a very good book! *5BC2
