First line
IT WAS ALREADY getting warm as dawn broke along the coast of Maine on the morning of August 11, 1921.
From the jacket flap
"This well-researched, well-documented book unfurls a compelling scientific saga....Not only that, it's written with the zing of a medical thriller, featuring fully realized characters, dramatic conflicts, high-level politics and scientific egos big enough to levitate Stone Mountain."--Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"This meticulously researched, levelheaded and well-written book should stir up considerable debate. Because the authors never became alarmist, this solid work of investigative reporting carries considerable weight, and deserves to be read by a large audience."--Publishers Weekly
"Powerful and emotive, the book captures the joy of scientific discovery--from the dramatic fight against polio to the thrill of basic virology--with the tone of a mystery thriller."
-Dr. Norman J. Maitland, professor of molecular biology, director of the YCR Cancer Research Unit, University of York
"A beautifully-told tale of science and a fascinating piece of medical history. The Virus and the Vaccine reveals how science can be distorted, pushed and pulled by the pressures of politics and profits."
-Dr. David Himmelstein, associate professor of medicine, Harvard Medical School
"Millions of Americans are unaware that government officials and leading scientists played Russian roulette with their health in the 1960s...[This] fascinating, meticulously-researched account of the coverup, and its possible long-term health effects, is a deeply disturbing chapter in the recent history of science."
-Stephen S. Hall, New York Times Magazine science writer and author of Merchants of Immortality
