"Hays has written a remarkable book. He too has a message: that epidemics are primarily dependent on poverty and that the West has consistently refused to accept this. Hays''s book should be in every undergraduate library and be recommended reading, as a whole or in part, in a wide range of history of medicine courses."
(Isis 19990101)

"Required reading for any university-level course on the social history of disease and, indeed, of medicine generally. A masterly and reliable synthesis."

(American Historical Review 19990101)

"This is an impressive piece of work. It delivers more than it promises, for it not only treats epidemics and Western responses to them, but also discusses conflicting ideas about disease in relation to such topics as population, tuberculosis, technology, and empire—and all in a lucid, even-handed, and generous way. A fine and focused overview of a significant range of topics in the history of medicine."
(M. Jeanne Peterson Indiana University 19990101)

"In The Burdens of Disease J. N. Hays has synthesized a very large literature dealing with the history of medicine and disease. The result is an original and impressive book that deserves a wide readership. It provides a fascinating perspective on contemporary health issues."
(Gerald Grob Institute for Health Policy, Rutgers University 19990101)

"An impressive text. Hays has presented us with a well-researched and insightful thesis, which deserves a wide readership not only among the microbiologically inclined, but also among all those concerned with the impact of microbial disease on public policy."
(Bulletin of the Royal College of Pathologists 20111001)

J. N. Hays is a professor emeritus of history at Loyola University of Chicago.
