I enjoyed this book a lot. It does a decent job of explaining how the flu virus as a whole works and why there are so many different strains. It also did a good job of making me grateful for being born 70 years after the 1918 flu. But I felt like for all its technical triumphs, it kind of just didn't go anywhere. Gina Kolata is a great researcher but she's not an awesome storyteller. I'd recommend this book to anyone who has a serious jones for virology. But it wouldn't be my first choice if you're trying to get into the subject.
There are a lot of tidbits about the influenza pandemic of 1918. Even dramatic series like Downton Abbey mention the event tragically. But this book draws together information from a large number of sources and tells a more comprehensive story. The startling fact is that the combination of sources still exist today. That is why US presidents urge people to get a flu shot from time to time. We all get the flu as they did. But it was a combination of viruses that proved lethal often within 24 hours. Nobody in 1918 had any way to tell what it was much less do anything that would save you. If you survived then you had some immunity to the strain, if not then you and everybody else died. The mortality figures vary but estimates over a hundred million are probable. Cities like Philadelphia died by the thousands. Everybody wore face masks but they did no good.Ms Kolata provides the details of why, when, and how this happened. It is well worth the time to read this book to appreciate the scale of this pandemic and how it could all happen again. Though we now have better diagnostic tools and can react more effectively. Still influenza threatens people today.
An excellent and highly readable (not dry) book. It covers the history of the 1918-1920 influenza outbreak that caused a worldwide pandemic....It then goes to modern times, and the research that was done into HOW the flu made the leap from an animal (in this case, pigs) to humans. Recruits for the U.S. army, at a base near a pig farm, were the first people ever effected: they then carried it with them to Europe, to the trenches of World War I, where it spread, and then when the war ended, the troops from each different country carried it home to their countries where it continued to spread. It then caused a world wide pandemic, with millions of deaths.....not just of the very young and very old, which is what is "normal" in most diseases, but the young, healthy, men and women of working and parenting age were the ones most often affected.Eventually it was found in every nation in the world, even among still traditional tribal peoples, who had little or no contact with the "outside world".....entire villages of the Inuit (often called Eskimos) were wiped out.This is relevant to us today because of the risk of Avian Flu, and others.....viruses DO make the mutation and the leap from an animal vector to humans......we've seen it in Ebola, in HIV, and many other viruses, but for a long time this was not recognized. Now, it is an accepted fact.Excellent book, quick read, factual but not dry at all...I highly recommend it.
This was a great book. It was easy to read and gives a great overview of the 1918 flu epidemic.written It also was without too much medical detail. It did give enough medical explanation to understand the dilemma and lack of any effective treatment faced by doctors and researchers of the time. I wish there were more photos although I understand that too many people were dying too quickly for those involved to take photos.
The mind boggles at the painstaking research that has gone into the composition of this book. For the most part, the thousands of facts and dozens of characters are coherent and cohesive. Tone, however, shifts awkwardly now and then, as if the author's personal reactions to some of the people were coloring her prose.
Most of it takes place in modern times and the ongoing search to uncover the mystery of the great pandemic.Lots of material I had not read in other books on the same subject.Most of the book covers research in the present era -- research on the mystery of the 1918 pandemic and.what caused it ro be so lethal.Fascinating stuff. Recommend it.
This is beautifully done in that the author creates, very subtly, a good deal of suspense and curiosity. I felt misled by the ending. The author implied that the questions about the Spanish flu virus were finally answered; but they haven't been. There's a good deal of material about how epidemiologists go about their work, and it is interesting and understandable. I recommend the book for its clean style and swift pace.
Extremely well written, loaded with firsthand accounts. I never realuzed how bad it was. Been in cemeteries and came upon tombstones of families that died in 1918. This book put it all together for me.
