Michael Scherer👍 Recommends
…book recommendations from reporters covering the trump administration
“Michael Scherer: And then the last book is a book I read a long time ago, but I always recommend it to people because I think it's like the best example of literary nonfiction I've ever read. It's a book called Blood by Douglas Starr. It's actually A History of Blood, which is not something I would ever have thought I wanted to read. But it starts with a blood transfusion in 17th century France between a madman and a calf. And then it takes you through, you know, how blood revolutionized how we fight wars and the AIDS crisis.”
