Recensione:

"John L. LaMattina the recently retired head of Pfizer s global research and development by using well illustrated examples, takes us through the realities and myths about many of the issues surrounding the pharmaceutical industry. Rather than innuendo, he offers data. This is an important and timely book In the end this book is about science where data rules. [and] should become indispensable to those who wish to either understand or set policy."
Dr. Richard A. Lerner, President of The Scripps Research Institute  

"Drug Truths is an authoritative, clear and accessible exposition of the realities of drug discovery and development. It is factual and balanced, although LaMattina does not shy away from criticizing some of the misguided views that have appeared in print. The main points are well documented and logically presented. The book is a splendid addition to the contemporary health care literature."
E. J. Corey, Harvard University
