Description: Sourced from dust cover flaps (image provided with listing): Using fresh research from the Vatican and the Indian archives in Seville, as well as documents she discovered in Peru, award winning author Fiamemetta Rocco chronicles the ravages of the disease, the quest of the three Englishmen who smuggled cinchona seeds out of South America; the way in which quinine opened the door to Western imperial adventure in Asia, Africa and beyond; and how, even today, quinine grown in the eastern Congo still saves the lives of so many suffering from malaria.
