Summary
  1. Drawing upon his extensive experience the author delivers an insider's account of some of the more prevalent and/or serious diseases, the physicians and researchers studying them, and the programs supporting them at Duke University and its affiliate, the Durham VA Medical Center. Combining insights from his own experience and almost 100 interviews of current and former faculty members and staff and his complete access to the Medical Center Archives, he explores medical education, public health, and the disease portfolio before and during the 20th century in the world, in the state and in the city of Durham, North Carolina, and the reasons why James B. "Buck" Duke invested his money into what became Duke University.
