Reviews

"""In this compelling book, Dr Jack McCallum shines a bright light on the ancient union of war and disease. From smallpox in the American Revolution to malaria in World War II, milestone events in the U.S. military's encounters with infectious diseases and their control are explored in rich and candid detail. Scholarly and engaging in equal measure, this book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in the epidemiological history of war.""--Matthew Smallman-Raynor, University of Nottingham, author of War Epidemics: An Historical Geography"
