Review title: Smallpox, Big Issue
Product review: Few writers have the talent to parlay a non-fiction work about viruses into a mass-market paperback, but Richard Preston has done it twice. "The Demon in the Freezer" focuses on many scary aspects of smallpox, and delights in the details of our demise should we encounter our old foe. For us today, reading about the skin completely separating from the body due to a halo of pus is both repulsive and fascinating; but the world once had an everyday vocabulary for these symptoms. With little natural immunity left around the globe and the smallpox shot the most dangerous immunization you can take, "The Demon in the Freezer" points to a nasty vulnerability.Preston talks with Ken Alibek, mastermind of the Russian bio-warfare program, and author of another excellent work "Biohazard." Also covered in detail are the anthrax attacks and the investigation of scientist Steven Hatfill.
