This book goes through many different aspects of polio in America. From stories of people who struggled with polio (including FDR) to the various scientists and researchers who fought to find a cure to the continued struggle to defeat polio worldwide. It makes the fight against polio very real for those of us that were not around to see it firsthand. Overall, a great book.
