A gripping account of the 1918 flu pandemic and the modern-day hunt
for this elusive and deadly virus
In 1918, a flu virus more lethal than any that has come along since
swept through the world, from the remotest villages in Arctic
climates to crowded U.S.cities to the battlefields of Europe,
killing forty million people. Yet, despite its devastating toll and
the probability that other deadly pandemics await on the horizon,
it was relegated to a footnote in history. "The Devil's Flu" is the
extraordinary story of 1918's forgotten tragedy and of the global
scientific community's effort to avert another such disaster.
The 1918 flu still so intrigues and frightens experts in the field
that in 1998, a group of respected scientists journeyed to the
Norwegian Arctic Circle in search of the mysterious killer. In "The
Devil's Flu," Davies captures the excitement of the hunt and the
intense rivalries within the scientific community, and paints a
vivid portrait of the eccentric scientists bent on capturing the
prize information that could hold the key to our future safety. And
as far as the next pandemic is concerned, scientists agree: it's
not a question of if, but when.
