This book is about us. Ten billion of us, here today or years dead, whose lives have been changed by the advent of antibiotics.
It almost didn't happen ; we almost lost Penicillin, the only-begetter of this wonderful revolution.
"The smallest Manhattan Project" is the true story of a dying doctor who fought off his own body - and his own wartime government - just long enough to help Penicillin get its moral groove back, winning us cheap, abundant, natural Penicillin for all.
Above all it is a reminder that when it comes to having the moral courage to change our whole world for the better, size doesn't begin to matter ....
