In his book, The Monster at Our Door, the renowned activist and
author Mike Davis warned of a coming global threat of viral
catastrophes. Now in this expanded edition of that 2005 book, Davis
explains how the problems he warned of remain, and he sets the
COVID-19 pandemic in the context of previous disastrous outbreaks,
notably the 1918 influenza disaster that killed at least forty
million people in three months and the Avian flu of a decade and a
half ago. In language both accessible and authoritative, The
Monster Enters surveys the scientific and political roots of
today's viral apocalypse. In doing so it exposes the key roles of
agribusiness and the fast-food industries, abetted by corrupt
governments and a capitalist global system careening out of
control, in creating the ecological pre-conditions for a plague
that has brought much of human existence to a juddering halt.
