Deadliest Enemy: Our War Against Killer Germs

Deadliest Enemy

A world-leading epidemiologist shares his stories from the frontlines of our war on infectious diseases and explains how to prepare for epidemics that can challenge the world order. Drawing on the latest medical research, case studies, government policies and hard-earned epidemiological lessons, Deadliest Enemy explores the resources we need to develop if we are to keep ourselves safe from infectious diseases.

The authors show how we could wake up to a reality in which many antibiotics no longer cure, bio-terror is a certainty and the threat of a disastrous pandemic looms ever larger. Only by understanding the challenges we face can we prevent the unthinkable from becoming the inevitable.
