Description
A fascinating insider's account of a major cancer cover-up
Ralph W. Moss was assistant director of public affairs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City when he unveiled a cover-up of positive tests with America's most controversial anticancer agent, laetrile. He was ordered by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center officials to falsify reports. He refused. Instead, he organized an underground employee group called Second Opinion to oppose the cover-up.
Moss is the author of more than a dozen books on cancer, but this is by far his most dramatic work: a first-person account of those shocking events.
