Facinating Public Health Epic

An amazing and exciting story of a public health menace of huge scope. An incredible and tragic story of the dishonesty and slowness of the agencies we depend on to preserve and protect public health. Shoemaker's informal and upbeat style kept me turning the pages. I am saddened to see that it was privately published, and therefore does not have the backing of a major publishing house: something this work certainly deserves.

Great Book!!!

This is a great book. I could barely put it down. It was very exciting following all the different events,people,and media. The book was very informative and I now have a better understanding of the problem and its cause. What a determined doctor!!!
