"Pioneer Science and the Great Plagues covers the century when infectious plagues--anthrax,
tuberculosis, tetanus, plague, smallpox, and polio--were conquered, and details the
important role that veterinary scientists played. The narrative is driven by astonishing
events that centered on animal disease: the influenza pandemic of 1872, discovery
of the causes of anthrax and tuberculosis in the 1880s, conquest of Texas cattle fever
and then yellow fever, German anthrax attacks on the United States during World War
I, the tuberculin war of 1931, Japanese biological warfare in the 1940s, and today's
bioterror dangers. As new infectious plagues continue to arise, Pioneer Science and
the Great Plagues details the strategies we learned defeating plagues from 1860 to
1960--and the essential role veterinary science played." -- Amazon.com
