In conjunction with PBS, Philip J. Hilts, longtime New York Times science and health reporter, has travelled the world to visit the sites of both the greatest disease peril - where the threat of runaway outbreaks is most severe - and places in which remarkably powerful new approaches are leading to astonishing success in combating the disease menace.
Reporting on in-depth research and interviews with the dominant players, Hilts brings to life the crucial choice facing the world community. The leading nations and global organizations now have the means to win the fight against 'the coming plague' if they will only join together and devote the resources to doing so.
By telling the moving stories of a host of individuals who have been plagued by the disease threat as well as the inspiring stories of the pioneers who are fighting the good fight Hilts brings the story of this crucial moment in world history to vivid life in a book that will be essential reading for all those concerned about this vital global challenge.
