       stones' -- Plague, 1901/1907: 'The dreaded disorder' --

       entire race' -- Poliomyelitis, 1918/1963: 'The middle-

       motion' -- Conclusion. 
520    "This is the first history of epidemics in South Africa, 
       lethal episodes that significantly 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 in both the short and long terms. The impacts
       of these epidemics ranged from the demographic--the 
       "Spanish flu," for instance, claimed the lives of 6 
       percent of the country's population in six weeks--to the 
       political, the social, the economic, the spiritual, the 
       psychological, and the cultural. Moreover, as each of 
       these epidemics occurred at crucial moments in the 
       country's history--such as during the South African War 
       and World War I--the book also examines how these 
       processes affected and were affected by the five 
       epidemics. To those who read this book, history will not 
       look the same again."--Project Muse.
