A highly accessible, engaging look at modern medicine. Since ancient times, mankind has searched for ways to defeat disease. It has only been in the last 200 years that scientists have made major inroads in medical science, and as a result, many, many lives have been, and continue to be, saved. From intense rivalries and vanity to bitter jealousies and subterfuge, SMALLPOX, SYPHILIS AND SALVATION documents the personal tales of medical discovery in the twentieth century.
