Pulitzer Prize, History, 2006

This comprehensive and gripping narrative covers all the challenges, characters, and controversies in America's relentless struggle against polio. Funded by philanthropy and grassroots contributions, Salk's killed-virus vaccine (1954) and Sabin's live-virus vaccine (1961) began to eradicate this dreaded disease.

Author David M. Oshinsky, a multiple New York Times Notable Book winner and University of Texas professor, is a leading American political and cultural historian.

I wanted to learn about polio and its history for a research project, so this was a perfect book for that. It can be a little dry at times just because of the nature of the subject matter - there's a lot of background needed to really understand the history. I did space out at times, but I don't fault the book for that. It was interesting enough to listen to on a long drive without putting me to sleep. I learned a lot, which is what I set out to do.

In the US today, we take for granted that we won't get polio. It gave me new understanding and appreciation for how far medicine has come in 100 years. When I was a child I knew several older people who still suffered effects of polio. We probably all knew someone. It's not an issue in my generation, but it was really not that long ago.

Comprehensive history

This Registered Dietitian and her Microbiologist husband (both born in the 50's) truly enjoyed this audiobook - the science, the history, and the "my parents must have been scared to death of this thing I have never had to fear in my lifetime" moments. Such thorough research but not dry at all - fascinating listen!
