New York. 1974. March 1974. Mentor/New American Library. 1st Mentor Paperback Printing. Very Good in Wrappers. 240 pages. paperback. ME1291. keywords: History Disease. DESCRIPTION - Did You Know That: Malaria, smallpox, and other plagues conquered the Roman Empire; The Black Death led to the breakdown of feudalism and the beginning of the Protestant Reformation; Tinnitus, a disease of the middle ear, was probably the cause of Joan of Arc's visions; Syphilis ended Henry VIII's chance for a male heir and heralded the demise of the Tudor dynasty; Hemorrhoids contributed to Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, and typhus was his greatest enemy in Russia; Hemophilia was at least partly responsible for the Russian Revolution. Such grim scourges as these have played a role more decisive than ideology, economics, or force of arms on the course of history. DISEASE AND HISTORY combines the drama of great historical turning points and personalities with the fascination of a scientific detective story. inventory #34164.
