In the dying months of the First World War, Spanish Flu suddenly
overwhelmed the globe, killing up to 100 million people. it was one
of the most devastating natural disasters in world history ...
___________ 'Offers us a coherent, well-researched and sanitary
reminder that another pandemic could be just around the corner with
equally horrific consequences.' - Sir Tony Robinson 'Fascinating
... lurid and pacy ... the page-turning fascination of a detective
thriller.' - BBC History Magazine 'A remarkable job ... arresting
and intimate narrative.' - New Statesman ___________ But behind the
staggering figures are human lives, stories of those who suffered
and those who fought back - at the Front, at home, in the hospitals
and laboratories. Digging into archives, unpublished records,
memoirs, diaries and government documents, Catharine Arnold traces
the course of the disease through the accounts of those who
experienced it - from those in high office to the ordinary people:
the troops, nurses, miners, labourers, and many others who were
left with no memorial. 100 years after the disease burned its way
across the globe, this stingingly prescient book examines the
lessons that devastating outbreak taught us - and those we perhaps
did not learn in time, as Covid-19 wreaks havoc across the world in
2020.
