Chronicles 150 years of scientific warfare against the grapevine's worst enemy: phylloxera. This title describes the biological and economic disaster that unfolded when a tiny, root-sucking insect invaded the south of France in the 1860s, spread throughout Europe, and journeyed across oceans to Africa, South America, Australia, and California.
