I’ve arranged this list in order from the most popular, “fun” medical history books, to the more scholarly, academic books.
1. Rebecca Skloot: ''The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks'' – This book falls a bit out of this list’s timeframe, as it takes place during the mid-twentieth century, but Skloot’s book is, undoubtedly, one of the most important works on medical history and society ever published. It was awarded to the National Academies' Best Book of the Year Award , and spent 75 weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list. The book deals primarily with ethical issues in medical research, and illustrates how lines were crossed that should’ve been left alone.
