Thanks to the tireless efforts of the Dr. Bodo Otto Association, this important work is back in print. Gibson’s account brings to life the challenges Dr. Otto faced—smallpox inoculation controversies, scarce supplies, poor soldier care, and political rivalries among medical leaders. By the end, you’ll be grateful for modern medicine—and reminded that medical politics is nothing new.
A must-read for history buffs and medical professionals alike.
