Though drugs against malaria have a long history, attempts to develop novel therapeutics spanned the twentieth century and continue today. In this historical study, Leo B. Slater shows the roots and branches of an enormous drug development project during World War II. This wartime research would deliver chloroquinine and a host of other chemotherapeutic insights.
