BETRAYAL OF TRUST The Collapse of Global Public Health

From bubonic plague to AIDS, this concise public health treatise is a bird’s-eye view of how badly we are doing at providing medical and preventive care for the people of the world. Fran Tunno’s cheerful voice brings a message that is not cheerful, although her delivery is vital and suitable for the evidence at hand. Tunno’s pronunciation of medical terms falters occassionally, when she puts the emphasis on the wrong syllable, but her delivery of the author’s substance is clear and crisp. The presentation skillfully holds our attention to a well-researched account of a developing crisis written by a Pulitzer Prize-winning health and science reporter.
