This book explores the origins of our contemporary system of drug regulation and the modern clinical trial. Marks illustrates the symbiotic relationship between the history of modern drug regulation and the history of therapeutic reform. Accompanying this history of public policy is a detailed account of changing experimental ideals and practices. Marks traces the history of therapeutic experimentation, from the "collective investigations" of the past century to the controlled clinical trial that emerged after 1950 as the paradigm of scientific experimentation. The result is the first general history of clinical research in the United States, a book that examines therapeutic experiments in a wide range of diseases, from syphilis and pneumonia to heart disease and diabetes.

As a biomedical researcher and clinician, I rely on published literature to guide my practice and thought. Current medical literature is very statistically based. Consequently, I found the author's history of the rise of satistics in medicine fascinating. I can't recall seeing this material covered elsewhere. Further, this book is very thoroughly researched and anotated. The most important thing I learned from this book is that the much touted randomized clinical trial is a very recent invention.
