Leadership during Epidemics, Bioterror Attacks, and Other Public Health Crises\u003c\/i\u003e explores the crucial relationships between political leaders, public health officials, journalists, and others to see why leadership confusion develops. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWho's In Charge?\u003c\/i\u003e begins by looking at the overarching issues of leadership, public health administration, and the threats of bioterrorism. It then examines five recent emergencies--the 2001 anthrax attacks and 1993 cryptosporidium outbreak in the United States, the 2003 SARS outbreak in Toronto, the 2001 foot-and-mouth disease crisis, and the decade-long battle against Mad Cow Disease in the U.K. A perfect text for schools in public health, or as a reference for elected officials at every level of government, the book shows how each event developed step-by-step to pinpoint specific leadership issues. Engaging and absorbing, the work presents official reports, medical literature, first-person accounts from officials and journalists, and discussions of the role of law enforcement and the military during health care emergencies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura H.
