Description
"In The White Plague, René and Jean Dubos argue that the great increase of tuberculosis was intimately connected with the rise of an industrial, urbanized society and - a much more controversial idea when this book first appeared forty years ago - that the progress of medical science had very little to do with the marked decline in tuberculosis in the twentieth century."--Back Cover
