“[A] weirdly delightful history of the practices and necessity of body snatching for medical training . . . [author] McPhee lends a jaunty energy to the ‘tawdry trade of body snatching’ with a host of odd anecdotes, a murderer's row of characters and lively prose. The Doctors' Riot of 1788 is a rich, detailed history that is also ghoulishly fun to read.” -- Alden Mudge * BookPage * “Science and religious sentiment clash at the dawn of the Republic . . . With an enchanting vividness, [author Andy] McPhee tells the story of New York in its colonial days, when familiar institutions were then new and the people whom city streets and landmarks are named for were still walking the earth. The author places his account in the medical, cultural, and racial context of the time . . . A brief, fast-paced history, loaded with surprising detail."" * Kirkus Reviews *
