"Law professor and historian Paul Lombardo does a superb job of revealing, for the first time, all the facts in the infamous Buck v. Bell case of the 1920s, the Supreme Court decision ratifying Virginia's compulsory sterilization of 'feebleminded' people."
(Publishers Weekly (starred review))"Highly recommended for academic, public, and law libraries."
(Philip Y. Blue Criminal Law Library Blog)"An engrossing look at a shameful case."
(Booklist)"Lombardo tells a compelling and heavily documented story of injustice to society’s less fortunate citizens. His sympathy for the abused is evident, but that does not turn Three Generations, No Imbeciles into a polemic... Armed with knowledge from this excellent book, we can hope we never return to the mistakes of our past."
(Internet Review of Books)"The book is lucidly written, well researched, thorough, and provocative... Three Generations, No Imbeciles is a must read for anyone who wants to understand the historical context of Buck v. Bell and its implications for ethics, law and public policy."
(New England Journal of Medicine)"Lombardo reminds us that the same incentives to improve public health and lower tax burdens exist today."
(Pathophilia)"Startling."
(Damon W. Root Reason)"A sad and fascinating book... With his legal and historical background, Lombardo is particularly suited to give us a book that explains a surprisingly ignored injustice, its antecedents and consequences, and helps us to think about the ongoing struggle to find a health balance between privacy and government power."
(Stephen Murdoch History News Network)"This book is a legal and historical masterpiece, combining meticulous ethical analysis with a liveliness that belies its scholarly roots and exhaustive footnotes and research."
(Michael B. Blank PsycCRITIQUES)"Compelling and well-researched... Three Generations, No Imbeciles gives Carrie Buck's long-untold story the attention it deserves."
