Examines how one man's illness can greatly affect history, focusing on the role of drug abuse in John F. Kennedy's White House, whether or not Henry VII was influenced by syphilis, and why Stalin became more paranoid as he aged.

Review:

"Historians will be grateful for Park's meticulous and wide-ranging citations and well-crafted index. This book will entertain, provoke, and stimulate historians, physicians, and general readers alike, and should stimulate further scholarship concerning the pathography of world leaders." -- Bulletin of the History of Medicine
