The Nazi War on Cancer, Robert N. Proctor, Princeton UP, 1999 If I were to describe a society that was obsessed with carcinogens, which was militantly anti-smoking, which extolled the “organic” in everything from food to shampoos, that emphasized exercise and body culture and a “back to nature” ethos, you'd probably think that I had…
