The true story of how an absent-minded inventor and a down-on-his-luck salesman joined forces to create QuikClot, a lifesaving product.
What The Reviewers Say
Captivating, often cinematic.
Treats a consequential topic, and contains moments of real insight, drama and humor. Trouble is, Barber opens with several omissions and slights that left me on edge for the balance of the book.
Barber’s book details why, somewhat tediously, which makes the narrative a lengthy one. But the outcome of a long and complicated effort to revolutionize trauma treatment is inspiring..
Astonishing and often disturbing.
