In this work, the author examines the interaction of wartime bureaucracy, the academic medical establishment, and home front civilians. Drawing on a wide range of archival and oral sources, Adams presents a fascinating - and often poignant - account of the difficult biomedical decisions which accompanied the introduction of penicillin during the Second World War. The author traces the effect of the «wonder drug of 1943» on postwar American society. This work represents a useful volume for scholars in the areas of twentieth century history of medicine, social history, and history of public policy.
The Author: David P. Adams received his B.A. in History and Religion from Emory University, his M.A. in History from Washington University in St. Louis, and his Ph.D. in American History from the University of Florida. While studying in Florida, the author served as a Resource Faculty in the Department of Community Health and Family Medicine, University of Florida College of Medicine. He is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Humanities, Columbus State Community College, in Columbus, Ohio.
