Why people recommend it
Imbeciles by Adam Cohen is a historical non-fiction work subtitled The Supreme Court, American Eugenics, and the Sterilization of Carrie Buck, detailing a dark chapter of legal and medical history in the United States. The book was featured on The Book Review podcast in July 2024. Host Pamela Paul began an author interview by asking about the book, noting that it investigated grim history within the American court system. Gilbert Cruz also introduced the guest at the beginning of an episode, highlighting the book's specific focus on the Supreme Court, eugenics, and the tragic sterilization case of Carrie Buck. Pamela Paul formally introduced the author again during that same episode, mentioning that the book had received a prominent cover review by David Oshinsky. Throughout the podcast segments, the participants emphasized the importance of confronting this troubling history, praising the author for unearthing the institutional injustices and judicial failures that allowed state-sanctioned eugenics to take root in America.
