To Dance With the Devil: The new war on breast cancer
The product of over three years of in-depth reporting, To Dance with the Devil is at once an unprecedented behind-the-scenes account and a gripping human drama.
At the center of the story, the eminent breast surgeon and author Dr. Susan Love, her patients, and colleagues at the innovative UCLA Breast Center. From there, the narrative spirals out to examine partisan politics and budget crises; pioneering research and experimental treatments; managed care and the battle to shape its future; high stakes, high society fund-raising; and the brutally competitive race for answers and dollars.
"To Dance with the Devil is a stunning piece of work: an absolutely lucid, entirely absorbing, and meticulously reported exploration of culture and politics at the cutting edge of medicine."
– Joan Didion
