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

5.0

An exhaustively researched and expertly crafted full account of The Great Influenza of 1918-1920. It is also one that presents the reader with the truly terrifying ramifications of what an outbreak of a particularly, and entirely random, strain of the virus behind what many dismiss these days as merely “the sniffles”. You will likely not neglect to get your annual flu shots ever again. COVID-19 has nothing on influenza, that much is certain.
