In this gripping account, award- winning historian Michael Willrich chronicles the government's fight  against the outbreak and the ensuing clash of modern medicine, civil  liberties, and state power. Pox introduces readers to memorable  characters on both sides of the debate-from the doctors and club- wielding police charged with enforcing the law to vaccinate every  citizen to the anti-vaccinationists, who stood up for their individual  freedoms but were often dismissed as misguided cranks. Riveting and  thoroughly researched, Pox delivers a masterful examination of  progressive-era history that resonates powerfully today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Willrich\u003c\/b\u003e is the award-winning author of \u003ci\u003eCity of  Courts\u003c\/i\u003e.
