It is a must read for anyone interested in military or health care history. -Nursing History Review Fever of War adds an important dimension to knowled of the influenza pandemic of 1918-1919. -David Killingray,Goldsmiths College, University of London <p Fever of War is well written, meticulously researched, and poses much food for thought. -On Point

It was World War I that made the great flu epidemic what it was, and Fever of War puts this fatal encounter at central stage. With the advantage of hindsight, one can't help wondering why someone did not write this book sooner. Indeed, one of Byerly's signal contributions is explaining how and why our memory of the great influenza epidemic was snuffed out. - Elizabeth Fenn, author of Pox Americana: The Great Smallpox Epidemic of 1775-82
