Description

During World War II, thirty-six young men volunteered for a groundbreaking medical study at the University of Minnesota to help scientists understand the effects of famine and recovery. For months, they endured hunger, weakness, and psychological strain so that life-saving refeeding programs could be developed for millions facing starvation in war-torn Europe.

Todd Tucker’s compelling narrative brings to light the courage and sacrifice of these men, exploring both the science and the human stories behind one of the most remarkable medical experiments ever conducted
