Gosnell is the untold story of America's most prolific serial killer. In 2013, Dr. Kermit Gosnell was convicted of killing four people, including three babies, but is thought to have killed hundreds, perhaps thousands more in a 30-year killing spree. ABC News correspondent Terry Moran described Gosnell as "America's most prolific serial killer". Gosnell is currently serving three life sentences (without the possibility of parole) for murdering babies and patients at his "House of Horrors" abortion clinic.
This book - and now a major movie starring Dean Cain (Lois & Clarke) - reveals how the investigation that brought Gosnell to justice started as a routine drugs investigation and turned into a shocking unmasking of America's biggest serial killer. It details how compliant politicians and bureaucrats allowed Dr. Gosnell to carry out his grisly trade because they didn't want to be accused of "attacking abortion". Gosnell also exposes the media cover-up that saw reporters refusing to cover a story that shone an unwelcome spotlight on abortion in America in the 21st century. Gosnell is an astounding piece of investigative journalism revealing a cover-up among the medical political and media establishments that allowed a killer to go undetected for decades.

It is the silence of others, despite the grotesque nature of the crimes committed, that continues to bewilder me as I read this startling book. Thankfully, filmmakers Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer refused to avert their investigative glare from the inhumane travesty conducted in Philadelphia—the mutilated, mass killing of born-alive infants within the seedy walls of the Women’s Medical Society Clinic by a certain Doctor Kermit Gosnell. This ‘Doctor’ eschewed the Hippocratic oath and human decency. Instead, Kermit Gosnell chose a bleak path nearer to that of Josef ‘The Angel of Death’ Mengele. Mengele did not act alone. His grizzly deeds in Auschwitz were government sanctioned.Nor did Kermit Gosnell act in isolation. The complicit role activist media, social radicals, medical colleagues, and incompetent (politicized) government played in perpetuating his crimes is an indictment of the moral wasteland we’re becoming. This is not about equating Gosnell’s crime to the horrific actions of Mengele, except to illustrate contemporary society’s refusal to learn from the past. If we did care, these blood-curdling crimes against babies would have ended earlier. If we did care, a caring nation would collectively march in the streets demanding answers. Instead, there’s muted silence and politicized obfuscation.
For me, this telling of the Gosnell nightmare is the first salvo in the fight for our very souls, and a diminishing chance to avoid us being judged barbaric. It is not okay to set aside fundamental moral principles (by either omission or commission) in the pursuit of blindly furthering an ideology. And, it’s never acceptable to contrive distorted truths and false claims (rationalized that it’s ‘for the greater good’) as a justification for the darkest of human behavior.
In that sense, this book provoked in me a reaction well beyond the Pro-Choice/Pro-Life debate. It touched the core of what it truly means to be an empathetic, civilized society; and how the reprehensible conduct of some bad actors destroys it for all of us. As such, authors McElhinney and McAleer have my thanks. I regard them as ‘canaries in the coalmine’ alerting us, American society, to the consequences of turning a blind eye to the inhumane deeds of a select few. If we continue to get this wrong and allow enablers to disassemble facts in order to cover up crimes against the feeblest among us, history will judge us all harshly.
“Gosnell” is a tough read, but a civilized society has the responsibility to pursue the truth wherever it may take us. There should be zero tolerance for cover-ups or dubious rationales, no matter where one resides on the ideological spectrum. In that spirit, I recommend “Gosnell” as required reading in all institutions dedicated to social sciences, moral ethics, governance, and medicine.

Gosnell The Untold Story of America Most Prolific Serial Killer (Audible Audio Edition) Ann McElhinney Phelim McAleer Hat Tip Books LLC Books Reviews
The book is a compendium of what can happen when every safety net fails, the corruption goes all the way to the governor, the procedures, the filth, uneducated and unqualified staff administering powerful drugs, bureaucrats ignoring the most damning reports, humans who had long since forgotten that they were human, and by the grace of God a few people who stood up and said this can't go on.
How powerful case study and what can go wrong, you won't regret reading it you'll think about it for weeks.
Kermit Gosnell was a Philadelphia abortionist who decided that allowing babies to be born and then killing them was either more efficient, easier, or, if we are to see him as a serial killer, more rewarding than killing them in-utero. This book tells the tale of how he was caught and of the trial that followed.
The pacing is quick and thrilling. The writers, investigative journalists, leave no stone unturned and have a keen sense of how to convey the human cost of the events on all involved. The story is also obviously extremely emotional for the writers and that comes through. The tale of how Gosnell was caught and what came out during the trial are surreal and unbelievable. Were it not for the Grand Jury testimony which McAleer and McElhinney used as their primary source and the interviews with law enforcement and Gosnell himself to verify the facts, one would be tempted to think the whole thing was fiction. Tragically, it was not. The book's tone and tension reflects this with a balance of the excitement of discovery with the sadness and horror at what was discovered. This book is simultaneously informative, engaging, terrifying and eye opening. It is a true-crime page-turner but also hard to digest when one realizes that it describes actual events and tragedy.
Finally, as someone who is agnostic on the politics of abortion, I found the book to be an important read and one that ultimately forces the reader to deal with the deep moral, emotional and philosophical questions that must be grappled with if we are to be honest with ourselves with regards to this issue.
This book made me want to scream at times, cry a lot, want to vomit. It should be read by pro-life advocates and pro- choice advocates. That this man was able to kill so many, defenseless babies is beyond my comprehension. That this could be allowed to happen in this clinic for so long, makes me wonder in how many other clinics it is happening. It's not about abortion. It's about murder!
Kudos to McElhinney and McAleer for presenting one of the most gripping, yet under-reported, true crime stories of our time. This book is a clear, well researched book that makes you feel like you’re reading a script for ‘Criminal Minds’. It is also a provocative look at the hypocrisy of a revolution to provide women with “choice”. McElhinney & McAleer expose essential facts necessary for honest debate about the greatest moral question facing our nation today. I challenge every American woman to read this book to understand the story and the culture that has been purposefully kept from public view. I am sickened by the facts, sad beyond words for the victims, ashamed of my ignorance, and will be haunted by this book for quite some time to come.
Whether one is Pro-Life or Pro-Choice, he needs to take the time to read this compelling account of Kermit Gosnell's abortion clinic. Horrors were perpetrated on desperate, innocent women while government bureaucrats repeatedly turned a blind eye, Why? Amazing. Also amazing, that Ann McElhinney and Phelim McAleer had the courage to expose this monster as well as the cruelty of his abortions.
