Abstract:
This book may be viewed as a combination of science, history, medicine, and memoir, and hopefully could mostly be understood without a great deal of prerequisite knowledge. Dr. Kohn has tried to give an account of the earliest published work leading to the anti-cancer drug discovery stories that he will relate. The aim of the book was to explain how the knowledge and application of cancer chemotherapy drugs developed. It is in large part a historical account.
