Wonderful look at an unsung pioneer

I loved this book. The writing is great and the book was hard to put down. I especially liked how Sutton and Jenner were juxtaposed. I’ve read a lot about vaccination but had never come across the story of Sutton. I also liked that the book didn’t go into the minutiae of Sutton’s life but told me enough to get an appreciation. The photos in the book were also informative. Overall, this is a great book and should be of interest to anyone interested in the history of medicine. It makes a great companion for DA Henderson’s “Smallpox: The death of a disease”.
Disclosure: I received an advance reader copy of this book via Netgalley for review purposes.
