Editorial Reviews
Review
Twenty-First Century Plague describes many of the people, events, political settings, and other contributing factors in a fascinating view of the story behind the story of the outbreak.
(Science 2005)
Abraham gives us an excellent and dispassionate account of the cultural and political background to the cover-up and the unfortunate consequences.
(Nature 2005)
The book is richly filled with facts, and they are conveyed in a captivating manner. It is as impressive as the film Outbreak.
(New England Journal of Medicine 2005)
Abraham offers insights into the 'dos and don'ts' of managing a public health crisis and provides key learning points.
(JAMA 2005)
A ringside account of the world's recent encounter with the emerging infectious disease SARS. Engagingly written by an accomplished journalist.
(American Scientist 2005)
The rush to contain and unmask the agent responsible... had more plot twists than anything Robert Ludlum ever wrote.
(The Lancet 2006)
The book provides an important summary of many aspects of the global experience with a new disease and discusses important lessons learned from the SARS response.
(Journal of Clinical Investigation 2005)
In this detailed report by Abraham, the inability of health care systems to cope with such newly emergent infections is clear.
(Choice 2007)
A beautifully written book.
(Medical History )
Timely and well-presented.
(Debra Rose Wilson and William A. Wilson Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved )
