Description

Otto Warburg, a renowned biochemist, was a key figure in understanding cancer. His research, though groundbreaking, was overshadowed by his Jewish heritage and openly gay lifestyle, making him a target of Nazi persecution. Despite the danger, Warburg continued his work, driven by a singular focus on cancer. As Europe descended into chaos, Warburg's research took on a new significance. Hitler and his advisors saw cancer as a threat to the nation's survival, and they protected Warburg in the hope that he could find a cure. In "Ravenous", Sam Apple sheds light on Warburg's remarkable story, revealing the complex web of science, politics, and personal struggle that defined his life. Warburg's central belief - that cancer is a problem of metabolism - was a radical idea at the time. Apple's book provides a gripping narrative of Warburg's journey, set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in history.
