New Year's Day, 1918. America has declared war on Germany and is
gathering troops to fight. But there's something coming that is
deadlier than any war. When people begin to fall ill, most
Americans don't suspect influenza. The flu is known to be dangerous
to the very old, young, or frail. But the Spanish flu is
exceptionally violent. Soon, thousands of people succumb. Then tens
of thousands . . . hundreds of thousands and more. Graves can't be
dug quickly enough. What made the influenza of 1918 so
exceptionally deadly - and what can modern science help us
understand about this tragic episode in history? With a
journalist's discerning eye for facts and an artist's instinct for
true emotion, Sibert Honor recipient Don Brown sets out to answer
these questions and more in Fever Year.
