Rezensionen

'... a quite dazzling work, imaginative in conception, broad in vision, amazingly erudite in execution, and perceptive in its judgments. There is simply no work like it - a Europe-wide juxtaposition of medicine and politics. Readers will surely relish the astonishing 'War and Peace' panorama of disease and the destiny of Europe which Baldwin paints, and the consummate mastery with which he handles his materials.' Roy Porter, late of Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine
