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

5.0

The lectures were sometimes repetitive, but when you're trying to learn and remember, that's not necessarily bad. While focused mostly on a seven year period (1347-53), the book does put the black death in to a larger historical context. I actually learned quite a bit about society outside of the plague, which was necessary in order to truly understand the plague itself.

Unlike some of the other great courses, this one didn't refer to visual material that you can't see.
