Forensic science has become a mainstay of popular culture on television, in movies, books, and podcasts. Dr. Alan R. Moritz (1899-1986) was a highly influential figure in the development of the field of forensic science as we know it today.
Dr. Alan R. Moritz and Forensic Pathology: Tales that Dead Men Tell, written by Dr. Moritz's journalist grandson Rob Moritz, recounts his life and career from personal papers and correspondence, interviews, newspaper accounts and other sources, including archived materials from Harvard Medical School, the Rockefeller Foundation, Case Western Reserve University and the University Hospitals of Cleveland. Chapters chronicle more than a half-century of ground-breaking research and high-profile investigations, including some of the 20th century's most infamous cases. This includes the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, the Sam Shepherd case, the Cocoanut Grove nightclub fire, the Attica prison riots and the Texas Tower sniper, as well as his contributions to the well-known Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death. Dr. Moritz, the inspiration for the first on-screen forensic scientist, is credited with being one of the most prominent pioneers of the last century, helping to move forensic medicine from the political jurisdiction of untrained local coroners to a respected scientific discipline that fascinates the public.
The book also details Dr. Moritz's travels, during which he experienced some of society's darkest chapters. This includes an infamous lynching during the "Red Summer" of 1919, the rise of Nazi Germany and the degradation of apartheid in South Africa, all of which influenced and shaped his worldview. Highlights of Dr. Moritz's work, recounted in detail, include career stops at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland and Harvard Medical School in Boston. Coverage details his most salient and well-known research-as well as insightful anecdotes and stories that demonstrate Dr. Moritz's character and the development and evolution of his scientific views over the years.
