An edition of The white plague (1987)

The white plague

tuberculosis, man, and society

"In The White Plague, René and Jean Dubos argue that the great increase of tuberculosis was intimately connected with the rise of an industrial, urbanized society and - a much more controversial idea when this book first appeared forty years ago - that the progress of medical science had very little to do with the marked decline in tuberculosis in the twentieth century."--Back Cover
