Abstract

The best book about severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was written, not by an expert in infectious diseases, but by a lawyer. David Fidler's SARS, Governance, and the Globalization of Disease (Palgrave, 2004) deserves to be pulled from its dusty shelf and read with intense care. By the standards of most infectious epidemics—tuberculosis, malaria, or HIV, for example—SARS now seems worthy of only a short footnote in global health history: 8422 cases and 916 deaths between November, 2002, and August, 2003.
