Hardcover. Zustand: Good. 416 pages. no djA fascinating and shocking historical exposé, The Malaria Project is the sto ry of America's secret mission to combat malaria during World War II?a campaig n modeled after a German project which tested experimental drugs on men gone mad from syphilis.American war planners, foreseeing the… tactical need for a malaria drug, recreated the German model, then grew it tenfold. Quickly becoming the biggest and most important medical initiative of the war, the project taske d dozens of the country?s top research scientists and university labs to find a treatment to remedy half a million U.S. troops incapacitated by malaria.Spearheading the new U.S. effort was Dr. Lowell T. Coggeshall, the son of a poo r Indiana farmer whose persistent drive and curiosity led him to become one of t he most innovative thinkers in solving the malaria problem. He recruited private corporations, such as today's Squibb and Eli Lilly, and the nation?s best che mists out of Harvard and Johns Hopkins to make novel compounds that skilled tech nicians tested on birds. Giants in the field of clinical research, including the future NIH director James Shannon, then tested the drugs on mental health patie nts and convicted criminals?including infamous murderer Nathan Leopold. By 1943, a dozen strains of malaria brought home in the veins of sick soldiers w ere injected into these human guinea pigs for drug studies. After hundreds of tr ials and many deaths, they found their ?magic bullet,? but not in a U.S. lab oratory. America 's best weapon against malaria, still used today, was captured in battle from the Nazis. Called chloroquine, it went on to save more lives than any other drug in history.Karen M. Masterson, a journalist turned malari.
