Praise for Splendid Solution
“Gripping…colorful and fast-paced…brings Salk to life.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Provides [a] shot of adrenaline in retelling [the] polio vaccine race…To tell this tale, Jeffrey Kluger has pulled intricate scientific concepts from remote lab shelves and has shone a readable, engaging light on them. Splendid Solution is meticulously reported and gracefully told, with medical, social, and political factors made equal parts of a very large equation.”—The Boston Globe
“Tense and gripping…Tells how polio was beaten fifty years ago in one of the triumphs of modern medicine.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
