At the height of WWI, history’s most lethal influenza virus

erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops,

then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. It

killed more people in twenty-four months than AIDS killed in

twenty-four years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a

century. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the

first collision of science and epidemic disease. Magisterial in its

breadth of perspective and depth of research and now revised to

reflect the growing danger of the avian flu, The Great

Influenza is ultimately a tale of triumph amid tragedy, which

provides us with a precise and sobering model as we confront the

epidemics looming on our own horizon. John M. Barry has written a

new afterword for this edition that brings us up to speed on the

terrible threat of the avian flu and suggest ways in which we might

head off another flu pandemic.
