Review
"Though much has been written recently about the great national polio crusades, little has been said about the impact of this horrific disease at the local level. Heather Wooten's new book beautifully fills this void by showing how one state and its people, particularly hard hit by polio, rallied to confront this disease. Crisply written and deeply researched, with a focus on the courageous survivors of polio, 'Battling a Terrifying Unknown' will set the standard for future studies in this field."-David Oshinsky, recipient of the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for Polio: An American Story

". . . an engaging and generally skillful piece of social history. . . .."-Barbara Gastel, professor, department of humanities in medicine, Texas A&M Health Science Center

"Drawing primarily on oral and archival techniques, Wooten produces a lively and well-researched account of how Texans understood and responded to polio during those decades. . . a lively and well-researched account of the social history of polio in Texas. . . with verve and thoroughness." - Penny L. Richards, H-Net
