Summary
Influenza should scare you.
Listen to this detailed and chilling account of the influenza outbreak of 1918. A terrifying virus that stretched across the globe. Even now, a century after the great flu of 1918, which left an estimated 50 to 100 million people dead worldwide, there's still no cure.
This audiobook examines influenza from all sorts of angles - history, diagnosis and treatment, economics and epidemiology‚ healthcare policy, and prevention. It gives insights on pandemics and provides the much-needed knowledge to evaluate the truthfulness of the proliferating, often contradicting information about the present pandemic.
While influenza is now often thought of as a common but mild disease, it still kills more than 30,000 people in the United States each year. What can we learn from the original 1918 virus that will protect us from the next outbreak?
War on Influenza 1918: History, Causes and Treatment of the World's Most Lethal Pandemic is part-science, part-history, and part-expert advice. This is precisely the book you want to listen to when you’re tucked in bed feeling feverish.

Fascinating
Everything you ever wanted to know about Spanish Flu, A fascinating book, not a story it reads like a medical publication article but it still kept me very interested. Lots of facts and figures, descriptions of symptoms and treatments. Really interesting. Narrator is excellent, easy to listen to and adds a suitable gravity to the book.

A wonderful fact filled, interesting listen
This book has been masterfully written in a way that it feels like you are sitting in an auditorium listening to a professor standing on his podium. You don't feel like you are being lectured AT, rather that you have signed up to listen to your favourite author reading chapters of his latest book to you. From start to finish I was very impressed with the narration and the content. With everything that is happening right now in the world, learning about the flu, how it affects you, how we fight against it, and everything in between, seems like something that we should all be doing. There is history, science, facts, examples and detailed true stories. I really enjoyed this listen
