Review:
Read this book to understand what happened to a country caught up in both a war and a disease that killed millions worldwide, led by variously competent civil servants whose responses, or lack of them, have some worrying parallels with UK pandemic plans today. --New Scientist
Very informative and easy to read. --Irish Times
A chastening read, but mercifully level-headed. --Financial Times

This is an excellent introductory text to the 1918 flu pandemic - Honigsbaum expertly brings together the scientific and the human experiences of those involved in order to address two fundamental questions.
