Description

Michael Bennett's groundbreaking account traces the global spread of vaccination during the Napoleonic Wars, revealing how Edward Jenner's cowpox discovery transformed medicine and saved millions of lives. This compelling history examines the networks that distributed the vaccine worldwide, exploring how different cultures and communities embraced this life-saving practice. Bennett brings to life the human stories behind vaccination's expansion - from desperate parents seeking protection against smallpox's devastation to the children whose arm-to-arm inoculations carried immunity across continents. The book challenges conventional assessments of Jenner's achievement, positioning vaccination as a genuinely universal advancement that fundamentally changed public health and medical practice globally during one of history's most turbulent periods.
