I used to work for a company that tracked influenza, and the 1918 pandemic was a regular topic of lunchtime conversation. Read this as soon as it came out, and loved it, but could see where the uninvested reader might lose heart. Reviews both the epidemiology and some of the public-health reasons it was able to spread so fast.
It's going to happen again, so it's good information to have under your belt.
