Description

No other disease has had such a long, dramatic and terrible history as smallpox. Mozart, Voltaire, Elizabeth I and Abraham Lincoln all had it -- and survived. Millions did not. Edward Jenner¿s breakthrough in 1796 started the process of controlling the virus. The practice of `vaccinating¿ with cowpox spread around the world quickly, and in 1979 smallpox became the first ever infectious disease to be eradicated -- a magnificent and so far a unique scientific and political achievement. Yet now its possible use in biological warfare presents a major threat. There remains no effective cure for smallpox. This book tells the fascinating and frightening story of this terrifying disease. ¿A brilliant mixture of history, science and politics.¿ Illustrations.
