By Dr. Charles Shepherd
Rating: 7 / 10   
This is a good and reference manual for patients. It is now out-dated by recent research findings, new drugs, greater diagnostic precision, and successful CFS patient recoveries in the USA. We would welcome an updated version of this book to take all of these new developments into account.

Rating: 8 / 10  
A great book. It outlines the history of the illness and it's devastating effect on ordinary working people and communities in the USA. It gives one a good insight into the early days of CFS research and the sheer complexity of this illness which baffled leading scientific researchers. Mostly, it shows the great human suffering endured by patients and their loved ones.
