}}

Gareth Williams, author of ''Angel of Death'', turns his focus from the history of the plague to that of polio in ''Paralysed with Fear''. From the first report of a case in 1700-Strasbourg, right through to polio in the present day, he traces polio’s progression past age limits, socioeconomic boundaries and geographical borders. Almost more intriguing, though, is the insight we receive to the cut-throat competition between scientists who sought to use polio as a means for making history.
