Review:``A masterful, comprehensive account of aspirin's amazing history. With page-turning wit and insight, [The Aspirin Wars] illuminates the intricacies and interrelationships of chemistry and biology, politics and espionage, advertising and marketing andregulation and the law. Running through the story is that blend of greed and genius that makes the world work. The history of aspirin is enlivened by the colorful personalities from science, commerce and government who have shaped its evolution.''
Bill Barnhart, Chicago Sun-Times

Book Description: Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1991. Hardbound. The authors detail the history of the marketing of aspirin as a drug from its introduction in 1899 to the present. They carefully researched the business, medical, and legal literature to supplement information obtained through interviews with numerous scientists, businesspeople, and government officials. Some of the events they describe include the activities of Farbenfabriken Bayer in the United States in the early 1900s, Sterling's purchase of the Bayer name of aspirin, the Food and Drug Administration's regulations in labeling and advertising of aspirin, the introduction of competing products such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen, and recent claims that aspirin will reduce the risk of heart attacks for healthy people. The authors also provide numerous literature references. Highly recommended for business and medical collections of public, university, and special libraries.- Bruce Slutsky, St. John's Univ. Lib., Jamaica, N.Y. Gray boards with red cloth spine; color pictorial DJ, [viii] 422pp, multiple BW illustrations VG, ex. lib. with laminate over DJ, interior check out pocket.
