The veteran "Wall Street Journal "science reporter Marilyn Chase's
fascinating account of an outbreak of bubonic plague in late
Victorian San Francisco is a real-life thriller that resonates in
today's headlines. The Barbary Plague transports us to the Gold
Rush boomtown in 1900, at the end of the city's Gilded Age. With a
deep understanding of the effects on public health of politics,
race, and geography, Chase shows how one city triumphed over
perhaps the most frightening and deadly of all scourges.
