Summary:
Nobel laureate Otto Warburg was widely regarded in his day as one of the most important biochemists of the twentieth century, a man whose research was integral to humanity's understanding of cancer. He was also among the most despised figures in Nazi Germany. As a Jewish homosexual living openly with his male partner, Warburg represented all that the Third Reich abhorred. Yet Hitler and his top advisors dreaded cancer, and saw Warburg as Germany's best chance of survival. Apple shows that Warburg's metabolic approach to cancer was eclipsed after the postwar discovery of the structure of DNA set off a search for the genetic origins of cancer. -- adapted from jacket
