- By
Trust Betrayed: Patients, Physicians, and the License to Kill in the Third
Reich by Hugh Gregory Gallagher. Everybody knows about the the
concentration camps. But not everyone knows that the Nazi holocaust actually
began under the guise of euthanasia - the elimination of "useless eaters"
living "hopeless lives." Or that the first gas chamber "showers" were installed
in hospitals and extended-care facilities. Many medical journals in the U.S.
praised Hitler's euthanasia program and lamented the fact that he took it "too
far." It's no secret that the medical community places less value on life with
a disability than do those who are actually living with a disability. We
haven't read this book (yet), but it seems particularly poignant in light of
the "assisted suicide" debate.
- Moving
Violations: War Zones, Wheelchairs, and Declarations of Independence by
John Hockenberry. The memoirs of John Hockenberry, National Public Radio
foreign correspondent, ABC News reporter, and now a contributing reporter on Dateline NBC. From his rehab experiences following his injury at 19, to his years as
a middle east correspondent, to punching out a taxicab in New York City,
there's never a dull moment. Highlights include what to do when someone on the
subway asks you why your legs aren't more shrivelled up, how to get into the
Ayatollah's funeral (find someone chanting "death to America!" and ask him to
push) and why he's not afraid of bees.
