About this Book
Synopsis
Victims of the great influenza pandemic of 1918 suffered horrifying effects, including bleeding from the ears and nose, and they usually died. It killed more people in a year than the plagues of the Middle Ages did in a century. In the United States, where there weren't enough coffins to house the increasing numbers of bodies, nearly seven times as many people died of influenza than were killed in the First World War. Award-winning historian John M. Barry tells the story of the worst flu epidemic in world history, including background on microbiology, immunology, and epidemiology.
