By weaving previously unrecorded voices in with the personal experiences of colourful historical figures such as Lady Mary Wortley Montaguand Edward Jenner, Gareth Williams brings alive one of themost exciting success stories in the history of medicine. His book also gives original and engaging insights into the anti-vaccination campaigns which remain active today, and into the many unlearned lessons of smallpox.
