In 1944 a groundbreaking operation repaired the congenital heart defect known as blue baby syndrome. The operation\u2019s success brought the surgeon Alfred Blalock international fame and paved the way for open-heart surgery. But the technique had been painstakingly developed by Vivien Thomas, Blalock\u2019s African American lab assistant, who stood behind Blalock in the operating room to give him step-by-step instructions.<\/p>\r\n

The stories of this medical and social breakthrough and the lives of Thomas, Blalock, and their colleague Dr. Helen Taussig are intertwined in this compelling nonfiction narrative.<\/p><\/div>\n\n \n\n
