The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History by John M. Barry
5.0
“The clock is ticking, we just don’t know what time it is.”
This is the best pandemic book I have read. It really fills in the blanks on the books I’ve read about Woodrow Wilson that have completely omitted the pandemic. The fact that Wilson’s illness has been listed as a “stroke” throughout history is just astounding.
The numbers in this book are completely horrific and yet I was riveted to each statistic I read.
This book was published in 2005. It’s clear we learned nothing on how to handle a pandemic such as Covid from the past…history repeats itself.
