Justice for Malcolm: Human Sacrifice Under U.S. Bioterrorism

DEATH OF MEDIEVAL TIMES struck down a renowned scientist, Malcolm Casadaban. He was infected, not in a remote village in an underdeveloped country, but in the city of Chicago, at a respected institution of higher learning, the University of Chicago. Amid the initial shock and fear, investigators scrambled to discovered how it happened. But other forces, powerful and influential, wanted the truth hidden. Investigators were silenced; a false story of a careless researcher who destroyed himself in the perfect storm was created. One woman, Dr. Joany Chou, did not accept the lie. She knew Malcolm, her former husband, too well to believe it. Justice for Malcolm is the tale of Dr. Chou’s efforts, in the face of falsehoods, governmental roadblocks, and death threats, to uncover the truth of Malcolm Casadaban’s death. The book reveals the shocking realities of government-sanctioned human experimentation and a casual disregard for the sanctity of life among those in higher institutions entrusted to heal, rather than to harm. It also introduces readers to the man behind the terrifying and false headlines, Malcolm Casadaban, who loved his family and had a passion for science, a gentle and generous soul who had no defense against the manipulations of ambitious and ruthless colleagues. Justice for Malcolm is about one woman’s determination to persevere for the sake of justice, for personal integrity, and for love.
