Angel of Death: The Story of Smallpox provides a compelling and timely reassessment of humanity s long struggle with one of its most devastating diseases. As this revised edition shows, the saga of smallpox did not end with its eradication in 1980. The legacies of smallpox include both vaccination and the anti-vaccination movement, recently thrown into global prominence by the COVID-19 pandemic. Tracing the dramatic rise and ultimate eradication of smallpox, this new edition presents fresh perspectives shaped by the twenty first century s most urgent public health challenges. New chapters examine the unsettling resonances between smallpox and COVID 19; exploring lessons learned and too often forgotten from global responses to contagion, and the recent re-emergence of monkeypox. In doing so, the book addresses the increasingly real prospects of bio-engineered diseases, offering a clear-eyed assessment of the scientific, ethical, and geopolitical threats at stake. The author s analysis illuminates how the cultural and political tensions that surrounded early inoculation continue to shape public health debates today. Engagingly written and rigorously researched, this second edition of Angel of Death presents fascinating insights for everyone interested in medical history, global health, and the complex forces that bind science to society challenging its readers to confront the vulnerabilities and possibilities of our modern world.
