Smallpox, one of the world's most dreaded scourges, killed hundreds of millions of people before it was wiped out in 1979. Recent events have heightened fears that smallpox might be unleashed once again, by bioterrorists. This book explores the cause, history, eradication, and possible resurrection of smallpox.
