About This Item
New York, New York: Free Press, 2006. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. This is the harrowing story of 36 young men who willingly and bravely faced down profound, consuming hunger. As conscientious objectors during World War II, these men were eager to help in the war effort but restricted from combat by their pacifist beliefs. So, instead, they volunteered to become guinea pigs in one of the most unusual experiments in medical history-one that required a year of systematic starvation. Brand New Book, Never Read. White and blue covers with silver lettering on the spine. 270 pages. Dust jacket now housed in an archival quality cover. A very nice copy.
