“Frames the conquest of polio within the cultural upheavals of the time. Polio: An American Story is a rich and illuminating analysis.”

New York Times Book Review

Multiple New York Times Notable Book winner and University of Texas professor, David M. Oshinsky is a leading American political and cultural historian. Garnering the 2006 Pulitzer Prize in History, this comprehensive and gripping narrative covers all the challenges, characters, and controversies in America's relentless struggle against polio. Funded by philanthropy and grassroots contributions, Salk's killed-virus vaccine (1954) and Sabin's live-virus vaccine (1961) began to eradicate this dreaded disease. "Narrative history doesn't get much better."-Booklist, starred review
