The Black Death: The World's Most Devastating Plague by Dorsey Armstrong

informative slow-paced

3.75

It was honestly kind of funny to read this, knowing it was written pre covid. She kept saying things like "imagine if you were in a similar situation" and I just laughed. Seeing the similaritie  from the black death to covid, like people's responses, was very interesting. Would like to see an update to this that includes covid repsonse analysis. 

I also am finding out that I don't really ljke the short great courses. She does this thing where she mentions she's oversimplified a lot of things, and I just kept wanting more details.
