The fascinating and dramatic story of the wonderdrug which changed the world, aspirin

Trade Review
‘Fascinating ... Aspirin appears to be one of the most useful drugs ever discovered. Thanks to the work of all the scientists so deservedly recalled in this books, it is also extremely cheap: in fact no drug is cheaper. Perhaps there is something in the notion of providence after all' * Anthony Daniels, Sunday Telegraph *
‘This biography of aspirin has some cracking factoids' * Scotland on Sunday *
‘An enthralling read ... fascinating ... the author pieces the jigsaw together in thriller style' * David O’Donoghue, Sunday Business Post *
‘He tells a story which blends politics, big business, social and medical history, greed, incredible dedication and human folly in a lively page-turner read' * Irish Times *
