Plague Prevention and Politics in Manchuria, 1910-1931

Plague prevention in Manchuria in the second and third decades of this century became an urgent matter both of public health and of politics. If the virulent pneumonic plague could not be quarantined and suppressed, all North China and even nearby countries might be endangered. If China could not deal with the plague, Japan, Russia, and indeed the whole outside world would be justified in moving into Manchuria to do the job, and China's already limited sovereignty there would be further weakened.Nathan, Carl F. is the author of 'Plague Prevention and Politics in Manchuria, 1910-1931' with ISBN 9780674670501 and ISBN 0674670507.
