This is an excellent book. I enjoyed it almost as much as "The Great Influenza" by John Barry. The science is easy to understand and the history is interesting. I was born after much of this occurred, but I do remember the "March of Dimes" door to door collections and standing in line to get my sugar cube.

If you have an interest in medical history, it is definitely one you would enjoy.
