520    The Nazis discovered it. The Allies won the war with it. 
       It conquered diseases, changed laws, and single-handedly 
       launched the era of antibiotics. It was sulfa, the first 
       synthetic antibiotic. Science writer Hager chronicles the 
       history of the drug that shaped modern medicine. Sulfa 
       saved millions of lives--among them those of Winston 
       Churchill and Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jr.--but even more,
       it changed the way new drugs were developed, approved, and
       sold; transformed the way doctors treated patients; and 
       ushered in the era of modern medicine. The very concept 
       that chemicals created in a lab could cure disease 
       revolutionized medicine, taking it from the treatment of 
       symptoms and discomfort to the eradication of the root 
       cause of illness. This book illuminates the vivid 
       characters, corporate strategy, individual idealism, 
       careful planning, lucky breaks, cynicism, heroism, greed, 
       hard work, and the central (though mistaken) idea that 
       brought sulfa to the world.--From publisher description.
