This is the first history of epidemics in South Africa, lethal episodes that shaped this society over three centuries. Focusing on five devastating diseases between 1713 and today--smallpox, bubonic plague, "Spanish influenza," polio, and HIV/AIDS--the book probes their origins, their catastrophic courses, and their consequences.
