This gripping narrative addresses history, science and the human parts of this amazing account with equal facility. The story itself is astonishing, encompassing a vast amount of medical progress in the past 60 years. The writing is equally commendable because it enables the reader to comprehend some complex science, events, and ethical questions with clarity.
One of my favorite books.
