"With this expanded and revised version of his earlier book, The Monster at Our Door, renowned activist and author Mike Davis brings an unsparing eye to bear on the COVID-19 pandemic now sweeping the world. He sets the current crisis in the context of previous viral catastrophes, notably the 1918 influenza disaster that, in just three months, killed at least forty million people, and the Avian flu of a decade and a half ago that sounded a tocsin, disastrously ignored by those in power, for today's devastating outbreak."--Publisher description.
