Book Synopsis
Edwin J. Cohn and his associates' expertise in the study of blood put them in a unique position to carry out the search for essential new blood products at the onset of World War II. This book discloses how the wartime emergency called into play Cohn's talents as a leader who drew together chemists, clinicians, and others to attain a complex goal.

Trade Review
[An] engrossing history-biography of Cohn… Surgenor also provides historical insights into the origins of protein biochemistry as a discipline, the founding of the Biochemistry Department at Harvard, the mobilization of the country with respect to blood collections during and after the war, the transformation and modernization of the Red Cross, and beginnings of federal funding for basic and applied research… This book chronicles one of the less publicized ‘big science’ projects of the last century. -- J. M. Tomich * Choice *
