de Kruif, Paul The Sweeping Wind, A Memoir
New York Harcourt Brace & World 1962 LCCC# 62-9433 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Very Good
Green cloth, gilt-stamped lettering on spine, tan endpapers, xii, 270pp. Dust jacket with photo of author in contemplative pose on front panel, with pipe & wearing a beret. Light bump to book spine bottom, edges moderately faded, text bright, crisp, clean; tight, square. Dust jacket has a small closed tear & crease to front panel top edge with a bit of colorchipping, some small chipping to spine ends, slight fading to spine & back panel; wholly intact with price on front flap, protected in a new Gaylord-brand archival clear plastic cover (removable). The author is most noted for his 1926 book, Microbe Hunters, which has remained high on lists of recommended reading for science and has been an inspiration for many aspiring physicians and scientists. He also assisted with the novel Arrowsmith (1925) by Sinclair Lewis, providing the scientific and medical information required by the plot, along with character sketches. Even though Lewis was listed as the sole author, de Kruif's contribution was significant, and he received twenty-five percent of the royalties. Many believe the characters in the novel represent people known to de Kruif, with Martin Arrowsmith (unlike de Kruif, a physician) possibly representing himself.
