Revised Summary of Perutz Biography
I first posted the summary a year ago and then took it down a few months ago thinking it might alienate readers who had known and followed Max Perutz.

Nevertheless, in dispelling some of the mythology I am bound to cause offence, for which I apologise. Read the summary here.
