Publisher's Synopsis

In the late 19th century it became clear to the British government that health hazards facing those serving in warmer climates, particularly West Africa, were unacceptable. This led to the origin of a new clinical specialty - tropical medicine. This title explores the origins and subsequent decline of what is more appropriately designated colonial medicine.
