My hopes were high for this one and it really paid off. Kean certainly tells a complete story with these scientists: what they did, their scientific background, and how they justified their actions. And it's more than just a story of science gone wrong. Probably a quarter of each chapter explores general scientific ethics. Each chapter typically contains a second example of the same breach of ethic, reminding us that this is not the work of isolated monsters. These are lines that any scientist can cross given the right motivation. Not only am I glad I listened to this one, I'm already thinking of people who will enjoy it as well.
