Review
"Everybody who cares about health and social justice, internationally and in the U.S., should read this book!"
(Amy Goodman host of Democracy Now! and 2008 winner Right Livelihood Award 2013-03-01)"This wonderful book offers a deeply reflective look at the motivations, ideology, and outcomes of this critical work, telling the stories of true heroes and heroines of American medicine and public health. It is must reading for anyone contemplating international health activism today."
(Dr. David Himmelstein and Dr. Steffie Woolhandler cofounders, Physicians for a National Health Program 2012-10-17)"Comrades in Health is a pioneering effort, a major addition to the study of global public health, and a new perspective on U.S. domestic health policy."
(Gerald M. Oppenheimer coauthor of Shattered Dreams? An Oral History of the South African AIDS Epidemic 2012-09-12)"Birn and Brown describe the history of international efforts to improve the health of vulnerable populations as an inherently sociopolitical, leftist, and often communist, endeavor. [The editors] create a coherent picture of the development of international health efforts...and will be an interesting read for more advanced students of public health and political science. Recommended."
(Choice 2014-02-01)"The most haunting lesson in this fine book stems from its call for an ethic of social consciousness in health care work. In this view, the struggle of justice for all is integral to the improvement of individual health outcomes, and it is as fraught with uncertainty and unintended consequences as is the treatment of individual illness. Birn, Brown and their colleagues update an old social medicine lesson that makes this struggle, with its risks, penuries and triumphs, a core professional duty instead of merely a morally praiseworthy individual pursuit."
