About 375 million people are infected with the hepatitis B virus. The discovery of this virus and the vaccine against it was one of the triumphs of twentieth-century medicine. This book describes how Baruch Blumberg and a team of researchers found a virus they were not looking for and created a vaccine for a disease they knew little about.
