Editorial Reviews
Review
. . . Through painstaking investigation of participants and publications, he has written not only a real horror story but, even more important, shown how conscientious individuals were led to risk the health and even the lives of fellow Americans in several cities.
Clouds of Secrecy focuses on the major issue in our state at this time. I commend it to every Utahan and to every American.
Cole . . . effectively buttresses his arguments with evidence from primary sources and makes a solid, easily readable case for the need for public and congressional oversight.
Cole has produced a penetrating study of the Army’s clandestine 20-year biological warfare testing operation. . . . a persuasive case that Army planners knew-or should have known-they were exposing the young, the old and the medically ‘compromised’ to infections at 239 sites around the country.
Cole’s book addresses a serious structural problem of constitutional democracy. It is obvious from a reading . . . that the public should demand more protection and Congress should mandate it.
