Description
"...in 1960, when the application for thalidomide landed on the desk of FDA medical reviewer Frances Kelsey,she quickly grew suspicious. When she learned that the drug was causing severe birth abnormalities abroad, she and a team of dedicated doctors, parents, and journalists fought tirelessly toblock its authorization in the United States and stop its sale around the world."--Dust flap.
