Evil Scientists - Nonfiction Edition

by lizzyy
//
49 books

A harrowing examination of the times when science abandoned ethics in the name of progress. These books document the exploitation of vulnerable bodies, exposing the systemic racism, sexism, ableism, and unchecked power that have historically hidden behind the white coat. These are the true stories of the "evil scientists" who operated not in gothic castles, but in government and university settings getting paid to make the rich richer.
