Join Dr. Howard Markel, NYT-bestselling author, professor, and director of the U of M Center for the History of Medicine, as he celebrates the paperback release of his acclaimed book The Kelloggs: The Battling Brothers of Battle Creek. In The Kelloggs, Markel gives us the contentious life and times of the Kellogg brothers of Battle Creek, earning great acclaim for his sweeping historical biography. The National Book Review called it “Insightful and entertaining . . . A revealing window into America as it evolved from the Civil War to World War II,” while Booklist’s starred review said that “sibling rivalry has rarely been so dastardly and delectable.”
