Three Generations, No Imbeciles: Eugenics, the… door Paul A. Lombardo
The argument toward the end, that support for Roe v. Wade is logically connected to opposition to Buck v. Bell (and support for Buck connects to opposition to Roe) is fascinating, and explains certain political alignments that hadn't made sense to me till now.
A superb book much wider in scope than one would suspect from the title. This really covers almost all of the eugenics movement in the US from the late nineteenth century to today. A little heavy on legal minutiae, but really good.
