The Nobel laureate Otto Warburg was widely regarded as one of the
most important biochemists of the twentieth century. A Jewish
homosexual living openly with his partner, he was also among the
most despised figures in the Third Reich. Yet top Nazi
officials-perhaps even Hitler himself-dreaded cancer and protected
Warburg in the hope he could cure it. Using new archival sources
and interviews with current cancer authorities, Sam Apple depicts a
relentless figure, hungry for fame, who pursued his research even
as the world around him disintegrated. Remarkably, Warburg's theory
about the metabolic origins of cancer has been revived in our own
time, as scientists investigate the dangers of sugar and the link
between obesity and cancer. Ravenous is a book for readers of Alan
Turing and The Emperor of All Maladies: a tale of scientific
discovery, personal peril and the race to end a disastrous disease.
