John Laszlo, MD. Rutgers University Press, 1996. John Laszlo writes the history to date of the cure of childhood leukemia. The book reads like a story, and an amazing story at that. It is good reading for parents of children with cancer, especially leukemia, because it explains how and why many of the current chemotherapy agents and supportive therapies came into being. The importance of years of clinical trials in finding the cure is described. This is a good book to give to your relatives because it helps them to appreciate both how serious leukemia is and how incredible it is that it can now be cured.
