A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist tells the amazing story of how a group of imprisoned boys won their freedom, found justice, and survived one of the darkest and least-known episodes of American history. In the early twentieth century, United States health officials used IQ tests to single out "feebleminded" children and force them into institutions where they were denied education, sterilized, drugged, and abused. Under programs that ran into the 1970s, more than 250,000 children were separated from their families, although many of them were merely unwanted orphans, truants, or delinquents. The State Boys Rebellion conveys the shocking truth about America's eugenic era through the experiences of a group of boys held at the Fernald State School in Massachusetts starting in the late 1940s. In the tradition of Erin Brockovich, it recounts the boys' dramatic struggle to demand their rights and secure their freedom. It also covers their horrifying discovery many years later that they had been fed radioactive oatmeal in Cold War experiments -- and the subsequent legal battle that ultimately won them a multimillion-dollar settlement. Meticulously researched through school archives, previously sealed papers, and interviews with the surviving State Boys, this deft exposé is a powerful reminder of the terrifying consequences of unchecked power as well as an inspiring testament to the strength of the human spirit.

At this time of writing, The Ebook The State Boys Rebellion has garnered 10 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Ebook is Good TO READ!

An insightful read that includes how and why State Schools were developed and led to this story. During my own family research I discovered a relative who had been institutionalized and sterilized during the height of eugenics. Up until that discovery, I didn't really know what eugenics was about. This book uses the stories of the State Boys in MA to better explain such programs and why they were grossly unjust. Yet, D'Antonio does not write a finger-pointing or sensationalized book. Instead, he gives dignity to the stories of the State Boys and lets the remarkably compassionate and intelligent voice of Fred Boyer come through the book. If you are interested in the American history of institutions, ideas on what it means to be feeble-minded or the evolution of treatment. "The State Boys Rebellion" is a good read. My Kindle version had some superficial formatting typos, but they are easy to overlook (such as missing apostrophes for possessive nouns). A few places were redundant, but neither of these criticisms deter from the power of the story or the quality of the research upon which it is built.
