From Caracas to Stockholm - Benacerraf, Baruj

Born in Venezuela in 1920, Benacerraf's childhood was spent in Paris, until fear of war with Nazi Germany compelled his family to flee to Venezuela in 1939. By the time he received a Nobel prize in 1980 for his discovery of immune response genes, he had travelled a long way on the road to success. This book presents the story of his life.
