Özet

In the dying months of World War I, Spanish flu suddenly overwhelmed the world, killing between 50 and 100 million people. Nowhere escaped this common enemy: in Britain, 250,000 people died, and in the United States it was 750,000, while European deaths reached over two million.

The numbers are staggering. And yet at the time, news of the danger was suppressed for fear of impacting wartime morale. Behind the numbers are human lives, stories of those who suffered and fought it - in the hospitals and laboratories.

Published 100 years after the most devastating pandemic in world history, Pandemic 1918 uses previously unpublished records, memoirs, diaries and government publications to uncover the human story of 1918.

An excellent book. Very topical at present with the current Covid-19 pandemic going on. Well read apart from the narrator doing voices/accents which I personally find annoying.

Excellent book

I download this book on Monday, and finished it but Thursday. An absolutely outstanding book. Very well read, and very listenable. Which is quite refreshing. It’s a fascinating book, which has obviously been very well researched. I enjoyed it immensely, and can’t recommend it highly enough.

Very easy to follow, interesting account of an event which is chillingly reminiscent of the current pandemic.

Comprehensive account

Bought this at the time of the ocronavirus outbreak at the time of writing. Very interesting collection of stories of human reactions widely researched predominantly from the English speaking world.

The focus is on the human reaction, not analysis or science, but very interesting how some things are so similar to 2020 and some things so different

interesting although very much history

Thoroughly enjoyed the story, narration, detail and pace. Scary stuff but disappointing to finish the story /book meaning I enjoyed. Thanks Book Team and of course Author!

Brilliant
