内容简介：
The veteran Wall Street Journal science reporter
Marilyn Chase’s fascinating account of an outbreak of bubonic
plague in late Victorian San Francisco is a real-life thriller that
resonates in today’s headlines. The Barbary Plague
transports us to the Gold Rush boomtown in 1900, at the end of the
city’s Gilded Age. With a deep understanding of the effects on
public health of politics, race, and geography, Chase shows how one
city triumphed over perhaps the most frightening and deadly of all
scourges.

编辑推荐
A pleasure to read, full of people, dramatic situations,
individual foibles and collective hard work...The story, 100 years
old, has much to teach us about today.?
?The New York Times Book Review
?An involving medical detective story...richly atmospheric [and]
consistently enthralling.?
?San Francisco Chronicle
?Chase, with her elegant, subtle writing, brings alive the human
victims, particularly the often-tragic lives of Chinese laborers
trying to make a life for themselves.?
?USA Today
?If the folks at Homeland Security read one book this year, let
it be Marilyn Chase?s The Barbary Plague, for the way it captures
in precise detail how political and business imperatives can impede
the battle against a deadly epidemic, in this case the bubonic
plague?the fabled Black Death?in old San Francisco. The city?s
leaders, even its health department, fought the news of the
plague?s arrival more aggressively than the disease itself, despite
the deaths of dozens of victims. But Chase?s book is also simply a
great story of a long-past time when a few heroic men, armed with
only the most basic knowledge of infectious disease, stood up to
the powers arrayed against them and, through ingenuity and
intuition, at last ran this epidemic to ground.?
?Erik Larson, bestselling author of The Devil in the White
City
"Outbreaks of disease can catalyze either courage or cowardice in
individuals and society. Chase brings to life a largely forgotten
story--in vivid prose and at a pulse-quickening pace--of a time
when America's character was tested. There is much to learn about
how to confront uncertainty from this remarkable tale."
-Jerome Groopman, M.D., author of The Measure of Our Days; Second
Opinions; and the forthcoming The Anatomy of Hope (Random House,
Spring 2004)
?The Barbary Plague is a thoroughly engrossing tale of mankind?s
battle with the most stubborn of foes, infectious disease....
Chase?s vast experience in medical reporting keeps her writing not
only accurate but highly entertaining.?
?Dean Edell, M.D., medical TV correspondent for ABC-TV 7, San
Francisco, and host of the syndicated radio talk show, The Dr. Dean
Edell Show,
?At a time when fear of anthrax and smallpox are very much in the
public consciousness, it's interesting to go back and look at an
outbreak in this country of perhaps the most frightening and deadly
of all scourges--the bubonic plague. Everything that we imagine
today in our worst nightmares happened in San Francisco in the
early part of the 20th century--a population in denial or panic,
politicians refusing to tell the truth, and the sadly inevitable
blame on racial grounds. Yet even during the worst days, men like
Dr. Rupert Blue rose to the occasion in the most amazing, humane,
and courageous ways. This story of the past gives me great hope for
the present.?
-Lisa See, author of On Gold Mountain: The One-Hundred-Year
Odyssey of My Chinese-American Family -- Review
