From d/j flap - " Follows Florey's career from his university days in Adelaide, through the period of his greatest research projects at Oxford, Cambridge and Sheffield. How he had to fight in the pre-war years for funds for his research, and finally, turned to the United States for help. It was in America that the production of the penicillin mould was increased so that sufficient quantity of the drug was available to treat the wounded during the Normandy landings. Florey pursued his own research into antibacterial agents, and it was he who took up penicillin after Fleming had discarded it, and developed the drug for everyday use". Hard Cover.
