The Great Influenza: The Story of the Deadliest Pandemic in History by John M. Barry

3.0

This was incredibly interesting at places. It focused on the rise of medical science in the US and then it's response to the Spanish ( ... probably actually American ...) flu. The sections about the findings of various important people in US medical history were not as dry as I anticipated though I often got lost ( ... disinterested ... ) in the long stretches that talked about the biology itself. I'm sure those sections would be quite riveting for someone with more of a science background/interest.
