Title: Provides a riveting history as well as a health survey
Review: The great smallpox epidemic of 1775-82 is covered in a survey which reveals not only the spread of the disease, but how it made an impact on the Revolutionary War's outcome and how it affected the lives of everyone in North America. In linking the progress of the disease to social and political changes in climate, Pox Americana provides a riveting history as well as a health survey of infectious disease in society.
