Review
“Evelynn Hammonds has produced a work very sensitive to both the suffering caused by diphtheria and the successes brought on by scientific advance, while demonstrating that those successes were contingent on factors at work in the society at large.” — Edward T. Morman, Journal of the American Medical Association
“This book is a lucid account of the first successful battle of the laboratory versus disease. Thoroughly researched, logically organized, and well written, it is a good story well told.” — Elizabeth W. Etheridge, American Historical Review
“Hammond’s careful analysis… is a fine example of the insights which historical study can offer modern efforts at limiting the miseries of disease in diverse social situations.” — Anne Hardy, Medical History
“A tightly focused study… set apart from the recent round of histories of infectious disease.” — Georgina Feldberg, Journal of American History

Readable, yet thickly and richly argued; interdisciplinary in scope, yet balanced in its organization and presentation; this book is a welcome contribution to the growing sub-disciplines within both history and science to which this book belongs. Surely, Professor Hammonds must be as exceptional in her teaching as her erudition reveals her to be in this book.
