Book Synopsis
Antibiotics add, on average, twenty years to our lives. For over seventy years, since the manufacture of penicillin in 1943, we have survived extraordinary operations and life-threatening infections. We are so familiar with these wonder drugs that we take them for granted. This book deals with this topic.

Trade Review
A horror story . . . A startling and disturbing read * Scotsman *
Gets across a single point with devastating effect . . . A highly important message that, for a start, every MP and GP should be reading -- Popularscience.co.uk
If we fail to act, we are looking at an almost unthinkable scenario where antibiotics no longer work and we are cast back into the dark ages of medicine where treatable infections and injuries will kill once again * David Cameron, Prime Minister *
