Death Investigation in America: Coroners, Medical Examiners, and the Pursuit of Medical Certainty
Jeffrey M. Jentzen

In this unique political and cultural history, Jeffrey Jentzen draws on archives, interviews, and his own career as a medical examiner to look at the way that a long-standing professional and political rivalry controls public medical knowledge and public health.
