The Secret History of the War on Cancer Book Signing: Book Passage in Corte Madera, CA, October 17, 2009

Devra Davis talked about The Secret History of the War on Cancer ($18.95). From the National Book Award finalist and author of When Smoke Ran Like Water comes this haunting, and deeply personal account of how a major public health effort was diverted and distorted for private gain.

Why has the "War on Cancer" languished, focusing mainly on finding and treating the disease and downplaying the need to control and combat cancer's basic causes--tobacco, the workplace, radiation, and the general environment? Davis argues this battle has targeted the wrong enemies with the wrong weapons, failing to address well-known cancer causes.

As epidemiologist Devra Davis shows in this well-researched expose, this is no accident. The War on Cancer has followed the commercial interests of industries that generated a host of cancer-causing materials and products. This is the gripping story of a major public health effort diverted and distorted for private gain that is being reclaimed through efforts to green health care and the environment.
