|comment= I am extremely prejudiced towards this book (though I have not read it, sad, I know) because it seems to be one of the major reasons for anti-DDT hysteria with resulting return of malaria to palces where it was almost eradicated for example.
But your review acknowledges some of the issues and sees the book for what it is (as in early call to action).
I am not sure if beautiful poetic writing is a Good Thing in polemics, though. Gets bit close to unfair, maybe... like giving the victim families a big voice in murder trials.
