Rezensionen

"...how does a medical historian tell the story of a man of science and healing who-both publicly and behind closed doors-brokered unprecedented international partnerships and oversaw their financing and implementation while remaining deeply connected to on-the-ground stakeholders? As in several of his previous books, the author of Tore Godal and the Evolution of Global Health accomplishes thisextensive reporting and eye-witness details, memories, and quotes which yield a rich, human portrait as well as some unique challenges Godal faced both in boardrooms and "end of the road" settings where people's lives literally hung in the balance. As a result, the 200-page book Keating recently added to the Routledge Series in the History of Science, technology and Medicine is a richly-layered narrative of modern global health history which deserves to be read by many people, both in academia and beyond. In short, not only does its engaging, well-paced text depict an insightful scientist who was both principled and politically astute, it also summarizes 40 years of policy and progress and, in doing so, presents important lessons for future generations."
