About this product

Product Information

Today, thanks to the work of a brilliant young doctor, we take blood banks and blood transfusions for granted. Dr. Charles Drew's pioneering research with blood plasma and storage made this possible. At a time of crippling racial segregation and prejudice, Drew proved that black doctors were equal in every way to white doctors. During World War II, he created the first large-scale system for preserving blood, shipping seventeen thousand pints overseas for soldiers in Great Britain. Since then, millions of men, women, and children worldwide owe their lives to Drew's work. In this page-turning account, author Anne Schraff demystifies Drew's extraordinary research and dispels the false rumors that spun around his tragic and untimely death.

ReviewsAfrican-American Biographies series. These books chronicle the obstacles and accomplishments of the individuals and their contributions to America. All four provide adequate background information to establish an appropriate context; those of Drew and Terrell include frequent parenthetical definitions. The black-and-white illustrations enhance the easy-to-follow text (which may seem condescending to more accomplished readers). Reading list, timeline, websites.
