What made him the finest pediatric surgeon in the nation was that the interests of the health of the child overrode any competing principle.

Welcome
"In this lively and comprehensive biography, Nigel Cameron traces the life and work of one of the late twentieth century’s most riveting figures. The portrait of C. Everett Koop that emerges in these pages is that of a deeply religious man and principled contrarian whose prodigious accomplishments—as a pediatric surgeon, public health official, prolife and anti-tobacco crusader, advocate for the victims of AIDS, and health reformer—were matched (and likely driven) by his monumental ego. This thoroughly researched and textured account will be the definitive biography for decades to come"
-- Randall Balmer, Dartmouth College.
