This book is well documented and includes statistics as to the alarming number of mentally incompetent people in the United States. Chapters dealing with the laws and court decisions, the sociology, psychology, heredity, and eugenics of mental ailments, and the surgery of sexual sterilzation and its effects, stamp this book as an authoritative work." - from the front flap.
