From 1932 to 1972, the U.S. Public Health Service conducted an experiment involving more than 400 black male sharecroppers infected with syphilis.

The first edition of this book explained how this tragedy happened. Now, a new introduction and concluding chapter reveal its bitter legacy in the age of AIDS. 16 pages of photos.
