Fascinating, enthralling and terrifying - simply a wonderful read!!!. Absolutely fascinating account of the seemingly sudden and mysterious emergence of all of the new and terrifying infectious diseases that invaded to world following the 1960's, just after doctors and scientists of the world had been congratulating themselves on finally eradicating the last of the killer plagues of the world. As good a mystery story as they come, Laurie Garrett recounts the detailed and frightening story of the discovery of these horrible new diseases we read hear about in the news almost every day - HIV, Ebola (see excerpt below), Marburg, Lassa Fever, Swine Flu, Toxic Shock Syndrome, and others. A New York Times "Notable Book of 1994," and just as relevant and current today. Simply a wonderfully exciting, frightening yet totally entertaining read. Five stars hands down!

"In clear, succinct, and as time would show, largely accurate terms, Dr. Ngoi had described what would prove to be the second most lethal disease of the twentieth century. “Footnote: Untreated rabies ranks as the number one fatal disease in the world, it is 100 percent fatal."
