A concise history of how American law has shaped--and been shaped by--the experience of contagion, taking us from the smallpox outbreaks of the colonies to COVID-19. . . . The conclusion [Witt] arrives at is devastating. (Jennifer Szalai, New York Times)

One wishes that, six months ago, every member of Congress and the Trump administration had been forced to read and reckon with the history Witt neatly summarizes. But now in the aftermath of a close, bitterly fought election, let's hope that this book will help America chart its way forward.--Jill Filipovic, Washington Post
