John Parrington: Book Review: André Pichot: The Pure Society
Socialist Review nr. 337, jun 09 – side 27
Note: Charles Darwin's legacy has been much celebrated recently, this year being the bicentenary of his birth.

Pichot shows how Darwin's name has been invoked in support of the reactionary theory of "eugenics".
