An inside account of the fight to contain the world's deadliest diseases - and the panic and corruption that make them worse.
Throughout history, humankind's biggest killers have been infectious diseases: the Black Death, the Spanish Flu, and AIDS alone account for over 100 million deaths. We ignore this reality most of the time, but when a new threat - Ebola, SARS, Zika - seems imminent, we send our best and bravest doctors to contain it. People like Dr. Ali S. Khan.
In his long career as a public health first responder - protected by a thin mask from infected patients, napping under nets to keep out scorpions, making life-and-death decisions on limited, suspect information - Khan has found that rogue microbes will always be a problem, but outbreaks are often caused by people. We make mistakes, politicize emergencies, and, too often, fail to imagine the consequences of our actions.
The Next Pandemic is a firsthand account of disasters like anthrax, bird flu, and others - and how we could do more to prevent their return. It is both a gripping story of our brushes with fate and an urgent lesson on how we can keep ourselves safe from the inevitable next pandemic.

The Anthrax and SARS chapters were very good. The Anthrax attack would be a great movie. I give it 3 stars based on those chapters alone.
The politics of the author is very prevalent in the book and at times I felt like it was more of a lecture than information. It was a turn off but I ignored the obvious bias and payed attention to the stories.
Too much politics made the book more of a lecture

It's interesting, informative and I've told many people about it. I was absorbed in Dr Khan's stories and experience. He makes disease and epidemiology fascinating! I also think that Ben Sullivan was the perfect narrator for this story.
This Book is SO Great!

It’s coming and we are skeptical as to how much we will be protected. If at all.
