Cole, Leonard A. THE ANTHRAX LETTERS A Medical Detective Story
Natl Academy of Science 2003 Hardcover NF/VG
030908881X Remainder stamp on front-end page. DJ has very short closed tear hidden by new mylar protective cover. ; 256 pp; In 2001, Bob Stevens, a photo editor for the tabloid newspaper the Sun, became the first confirmed bioterrorism fatality in the U. S. Over the next several weeks, nearly two dozen people were diagnosed with anthrax, five of whom died. Disentangling a coherent story from the snarl of conflicting reports, multi-agency responses, blaring headlines, empty leads and the shaky scientific data surrounding the anthrax attacks is no simple task, which makes Cole's accomplished book all the more impressive. Cole takes the reader on a tour of America's public health system. The book also supplies the chilling details such as the durability of anthrax spores, which can lie dormant but remain lethal for hundreds of years; the contamination of massive postal facilities that remain unsafe even after multimillion-dollar clean-up efforts; the difficulties involved in diagnosing many anthrax cases, which can display ambiguous symptoms; and the persistent, residual effects of the disease. 5798
