Polio Voices: An Oral History from the American Polio Epidemics and Worldwide Eradication Efforts

Julie Silver, MD, a world-renowned expert on post-polio syndrome and Daniel Wilson, PhD, a highly respected polio author and teacher of medical history (as well as a polio survivor himself), have collaborated in this substantial study of polio as seen through the historical record and testimonies of polio patients, the staff who served in polio wards, and those involved in worldwide eradication efforts. The content encompasses the disability rights movement, polio research and the emergent realities of post-polio syndrome--all of which makes this a rewarding repository of polio history and story sharing.
