"Marc Siegel is an articulate voice of reason in a world beset by hype and hysteria. We would be well advised to listen closely to what he has to say."
Jerome Groopman, M.D., staff writer, The New Yorker
"A passionate aria that puts Marc Siegel center stage in the Anti–Hysteria chorus. As both an empathetic doctor and a shrewd observer of popular culture, Siegel updates that 1950s truism: watching TV can be injurious to health . . . especially if you believe the hype about imminent terrorist threats and fearsome potential epidemics. False Alarm is a color–coded burst of sanity amid the fear and frenzy of twenty–first century America."
Walter Shapiro, author of One–Car Caravan
"A brave, insightful, and ultimately wise exposé of how the government and corporations rev up our fear to lethal levels d istracting us from our true needs, and the needs of the world. A ′good doctor′ indeed."
Samuel Shem, M.D., author of The House of God
"In this masterful and provocative work, Dr. Marc Siegel, an accomplished physician and author, skillfully dissects our present–day culture of fearmongering. An engaging blend of science, politics, and social criticism, False Alarm fully supported by extensive research exposes how government officials, the media, and the pharmaceutical industry exploit and spread fear for profit and power. They all should be scared of this powerful book."
David Corn, Washington editor of The Nation
"False Alarm asks an important question about threats from bioterrorism and emerging diseases: when should we be afraid? Siegel cuts through the hype about the ′deadly′ this and the ′lethal′ that, and applies reason in seeking the answers. Those who think for themselves will find useful guidance here."
John M. Barry, author of The Great Influenza: The Epic Story of the Deadliest Plague in History
"Relax and put away your duct tape. In exposing the phony politics of fear, Dr. Marc Siegel proves that things aren′t as bleak as they seem. The only thing to fear is fear itself."
Bill Press, former cohost of CNN′s Crossfire
