HardCover Binding. Year: 1978. ISBN: 0689108362. Who discovered penicillin, Fleming or Florey? Would either have seen its possibilities had sulfa drugs not come from Nazi Germany? And who was the father of the sulfa drugs, Gerhard Domagk, who was awarded the Nobel Price, or an unknown German professor on trial for his life at Nuremberg? The author interweaves fiction with historical and medical facts of the 1930's and 40's. His characters are both real and fictional, but so enthrallingly drawn that distinction becomes impossible.
