About the Book

It's the question we've all been afraid to ask:; What will a post-pandemic world look like when we get there? In a concise, authoritative, and gripping telling, Brian Michael Jenkins - one of the world's leading authorities on terrorism and security and an advisor to governments, presidents and CEOs - provides a masterly account of what kind of future the planet might be facing... by looking at the world's long history of epidemics and discerning what was common about their aftermath.

About the Author :
Brian Michael Jenkins is a senior advisor to the president of the RAND Corporation.  He served in the U.S. Army’s Special Forces in during the war in Vietnam, before joining RAND in 1972. In 1996, President Bill Clinton appointed Jenkins to the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security. Jenkins has also served as adviser to the National Commission on Terrorism.  He is a frequent commentator on matters of global security and safety for major media outlets including NBC, PBS, NPR, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and others.

Review :
"This is an accessible and well-informed assessment of what comes next." -- Publishers Weekly

"With the pandemic apparently past the high-water mark, this book takes a look at what might follow...Jenkins does offer useful historical perspective and rightfully points out that the Covid-19 pandemic’s economic and social consequences will remain with us for a long time, as will the disease itself." -- Kirkus

"Jenkins has organized his book around themes, and as he explores them, he leads the reader back and forth through history, pointing out parallels in humankind’s responses to different epidemics...thoroughly researched and cogently written..." -- New York Journal of Books

"[Jenkins] covers everything from ancient Athens to the effects of SARS, making for an informative and timely read." -- InsideHook

"Chapter by chapter, Jenkins explains how humanity, the economy, our political infrastructure, our military and more will return to a sense of normalcy, and the clues from past pandemics that could help guide our decision-making in the pivotal years to come." --- KPCC's AirTalk

"Impressively informative, exceptionally well written, organized and presented... a seminal study that is quite timely..." -- Library Bookwatch
