Reviews for The Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918-1919 (Rochester Studies in Medical History)
Using numerous primary sources, the writers have produced firsthand accounts of the outbreak in regions of the West largely neglected in other histories. In addition to providing descriptions of the virus and mechanisms of its variation, the writers emphasize social and political conditions that played significant roles in the outbreak. Highly recommended.
