The Last Child: The Global Race to End Polio is a behind-the-scenes exploration of the global campaign to eradicate the dreaded childhood disease that continues to cripple and kill. From the frontlines in Nigeria and India to Haiti and elsewhere, the polio eradication campaign is the largest non-military, global enterprise ever undertaken. Even though the campaign has achieved remarkable progress, governments, organizations, health workers, and volunteers face major obstacles in defeating the virus completely. The Last Child also captures the human face of a devastating disease and looks at the larger implications of this massive endeavor.
