The inspiration for the 2016 Sundance Film Festival documentary, NUTS!. “An extraordinary saga of the most dangerous quack of all time...entrancing” –USA Today In 1917, John R. Brinkley–America’s most brazen con man–introduced an outlandish surgical method for restoring fading male virility. It was all nonsense, but thousands of eager customers quickly made “Dr.” Brinkley one of America’s richest men–and a national celebrity. The great quack buster Morris Fishbein vowed to put the country’ s “most daring and dangerous” charlatan out of business, yet each effort seemed only to spur Brinkley to new heights of ingenuity, and the worlds of advertising, broadcasting, and politics soon proved to be equally fertile grounds for his potent brand of flimflam. Culminating in a decisive courtroom confrontation, Charlatan is a marvelous portrait of a boundlessly audacious rogue on the loose in an America ripe for the bamboozling.

This a great book - an interesting and well written account of the doings of a major rascal who profited enormously selling totally bogus medical procedures in the early parts of the 20th century. He made millions, back when 'millions' really amounted to something. The bogus doctor, John R. Brinkley, could sell ice at the North Pole, or sand in the desert. And he did it not just once or twice; he huckstered everyone for decades (including the US and Mexican govt) with absolutely no conscience whatever. He harnessed the power of radio advertising at its' beginning, a time when most ordinary folk did not even realize that such a thing as 'advertising' existed.At one point, Brinkley controlled the largest and most powerful radio network in the entire world. You think you know about shysters and crooks? HA! I knew some of the background of other medical schemes, but reading this was a total revelation.Strongly and happily recommendedSo, yeah - the book is interesting and the five stars are well earned.
