Summary
In the current era when poliomyelitis has been eradicated in the majority of the world's nations it seems inconceivable to the present generation that this disease had such a major and sustained impact spanning many decades. In this book, the authors tell the story of Western Australian families both urban and rural. Polio survivors tell their stories through recollections shared with the authors and presented with care to detail and accuracy. Far from being a tale of self pity, the book relates how individual struggle resulted in triumph over a debilitating condition - the effects of which are still being experienced by many on a daily basis
