A review by alenert
Black Death at the Golden Gate: The Race to Save America from the Bubonic Plague by David K. Randall

informative medium-paced
Listened on audio - really enjoyed. Not a fun topic, but it was an engaging book. I can't imagine how 😳 I would've been when COVID hit had I read this when I first acquired it in 2019... the similarities in the reaction are startling. (Maybe not to someone versed in global health, but for me who was/is fairly oblivious.)

CW for disease, death, graphic descriptions of diseased bodies, racism, animal testing/death (mostly rats)
