Overview

As Americans try to process unrelenting images of terror and loss in the wake of the September 11th tragedy, the unthinkable prospect of biological warfare has become frighteningly real. This gripping update on the diseases of our century explores the possibility for deliberate contamination as well as the history of plagues and outbreaks and the most insidious strains on the horizon. From smallpox and syphilis to yellow fever; cold and flu viruses, HIV/AIDS, the Ebola virus, flesh-eating bacteria and the most current developments in resistance and genetic engineering, this book will fascinate and inform readers about some of modern society's greatest fears.
