WINNER - 2020 MORITZ THOMSEN EXPERIENCE AWARD FOR BEST DEPICTION OF LIFE IN THE PEACE CORPS. "The book is entertaining to read. This serious story is served up with large dollops of humor, delightful tales of daring, and loads of information about fighting infectious diseases that makes the book very contemporary." Barry Hillenbrand, former PCV and Time magazine correspondent "This book is an important addition to the historical record about the first human disease to be eradicated." Dr. D.A. Henderson, Director of the World Health Organization's Global Smallpox Eradication Program, 1966-77 "The stories provide more proof of the crucial role played by PCVs in the eradication of smallpox in Ethiopia."
