Description
This work is both a history of the renowned Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine and a study of the development of the discipline of tropical medicine in Britain in the twentieth century. The story of the School, and of the personalities and principles that have given it direction since its foundation, is presented against the background of the sweeping medical and social changes of this century. The result is a unique and dynamic study which demonstrates that as a socially-, politically- and economically- determined medical specialty, the history of tropical medicine is an ideal medium through which to explore the forces which shape medicine and its application in the contexts of imperialism, independence and the contemporary third world.
