A review by smiko
The Citadel by A.J. Cronin

4.0

The book that inspired me to pursue a career in medicine. A tale of a doctor driven by scientific curiosity and a desire to help his fellow man. Lured away from his principles by money, the travails that follow are as poignant an indictment of greed as I have ever encountered. I do not want to ruin the book by detailing any more of the plot but I urge anyone considering a career in medicine or medical research to read this book.
