Professor G C Cook FRCP, now in his nineties, has spent numerous years in “third world” countries, mostly in the wake of the British Empire. He has become aware that a vast amount of research – including that in medicine and nutrition – remains to be done there. He has also had great experience of the now declining Tropical Medicine specialty.
The author describes his early years and subsequent career in the medical profession. He served many years in ‘third world’ universities, and latterly in the decaying National Health Service. All went well until he encountered an ill-equipped ‘Director’ of London’s Tropical Diseases Hospital, when he took up writing. At the time of publication he is now aged ninety-three.
