---------------------------------------- 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, Làm việc gì cũng phải có trách nhiệm.. It killed more people in twenty-four months than AIDS killed in twenty-four years, more in a year than the Black killed in a century, Làm việc gì cũng phải có trách nhiệm.. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision of science and epidemic disease, Làm việc gì cũng phải có trách nhiệm.. 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, Làm việc gì cũng phải có trách nhiệm.. 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 suggests ways in which we might head off another flu pandemic.
