This is the unofficial (and therefore impartial) history of the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, which many people unknown; a history which began with Alfred Nobel. However, the book "From Alfred Nobel to AstraZeneca" is not just the story of this lab but also a journey through the history of the pharmaceutical industry itself...
Thoroughly documented, this work also offers numerous human stories, anecdotes, and curiosities... all of which make for a more engaging read.
The pharmaceutical industry has always been a shadowy world that has shunned transparency; for pharmaceutical executives, seeing a journalist was more frightening than any danger, and thus they avoided them, and continue to avoid them constantly. However, as recounted in this book, there was a time when information transparency and proactive engagement with journalists were the norm... a period that, unfortunately, has not been repeated.
