Book Synopsis
Originating in Cuba in 1897, yellow fever shuttered businesses, paralyzed trade, and caused tens of thousand of people living in the southern United States to abandon their homes and flee for their lives. This title uncovers how the devastating power of this virus profoundly shaped the relationship between the two countries.

Trade Review
"This elegant study not only reshapes our understanding of U.S.-Cuban relations but also forces us to rethink the broader history of U.S. public health interventions all over the world. It is a model for doing transnational history." - Paul Sutter, University of Colorado"
