The first comprehensive biography of the Father of the Blood Bank and a champion of civil rights and equal health care

Genius Unbroken is the first comprehensive biography to bring the extraordinary life of Dr. Charles Drew, the Father of the Blood Bank, into focus. Born into Washington D.C.'s vibrant African American community at the turn of the twentieth century, Drew rose on the strength of extraordinary physical and intellectual talents to become a groundbreaking medical research scientist. He pioneered methods of blood and plasma storage, leading America's first large-scale blood bank: innovations that continue to save lives around the world. A gifted surgeon and educator, Drew also became an eloquent and powerful advocate of civil rights, especially equal health care, for African Americans. Tragically, while still a young man, he lost his life while travelling to a medical conference that provided free care to indigent patients.
