This book provides the first behind-the-scenes account of how the global battle against SARS was fought and the incredible research efforts that finally led to identification of the virus. Drawing on unprecedented access to scientists, doctors, and recovered patients, Thomas Abraham traces the emergence of SARS, examines the politics and economics of disease, and recounts the stresses and heartbreaks suffered by brave researchers who fought the clock to solve the SARS puzzle -- even as colleagues and friends succumbed to the disease. The paperback edition features a new introduction by the author that relates the SARS experience as a cautionary tale in the face of potential new pandemics, including avian flu.
