Reviews

The book is well written and thought-provoking. It would be an ideal textbook for advanced graduate courses in disaster management and public health ethics. Choice Trotter does not hesitate to question prevailing assumptions, perspectives, and practices... Some will agree with the author's positions; others will not. But all will be challenged by this book. Clearly written, well-argued, and carefully researched and documented. -- Ron Hamel JAMA

The Ethics of Coercion in Mass Casualty Medicine is a necessary component for the education of medical professionals and for the information of all citizens. We will, as a society, soon be required by the direct interventions of terrorists or by the indirect spread of infectious disease to judge whether the abridgements of freedom that will surround our care in mass casualties are fair and just. This well-written, carefully researched, and clearly argued book prepares us to confront these complex ethical and public health trade-offs; it is an essential part of individual preparedness. - Nancy Neveloff Dubler, Albert Einstein College of Medicine
