About This Item
From back cover: "The Power to Harm is a profound and original book. In his account of a 1989 killing spree and the subsequent trial of the drug company Eli Lilly, John Cornwell has written several books in one: a vivid courtroom drama; a sociological study of the American workplace; a survey of the rapidly changing fields of neuroscience and psychopharmacology; and a searching, complex investigation into the most fundamental question of human identity - do we have a soul, a sovereign will, or are we simply the sum of our molecules? The contest between these two visions of humanity is the real issue of his book, and Cornwell has rendered it with passion, erudition, and humanity." - Tobias Wolff
