Robert Fortuine (pronounced Four-TYNE) is Alaska's pre-eminent medical historian. As we expected, this factfilled book is thoroughly researched and meticulously documented. His preface begins with an account of an xray survey in a remote village early in 1946, when a distraught father pleaded, "Five of my children die this way -I don't want my other kids to go. Must we all die of the TB?"
