book · 2008
SUMMARY
Narrative history of Brinkley's career and of Morris Fishbein's campaign against him. Cited here for narrative context on the scale and theatrics of the goat-gland operation and the radio marketing that drove it. This is a trade history rather than a primary or peer-reviewed source; the dates and figures used in this bundle are anchored to the peer-reviewed Smith 2022 review and the 1921 primary pamphlet, with this book cited for context. ISBN confirmed via Open Library.
NOTES
Brock’s book is the best-known popular history of the Brinkley affair and of the American Medical Association’s pursuit of him. It is cited here for narrative context on the reach and showmanship of the operation; specific identifiers and figures in this bundle are grounded to the peer-reviewed and primary sources rather than to this trade account.
