Plagues and Pandemics Black Death, Coronaviruses and Other Killer Diseases Throughout History by Douglas Boyd

 Full of information and thoroughly researched, this makes chilling reading. However, I found a lot of it a bit dry and dense, but Douglas Boyd comes into his own in his section on the Great Plague. This is quite vivid and exciting, with extracts from Samuel Pepys and Daniel Defoe. It made me want to read more about this harrowing time.

He also has a very interesting section about the present coronavirus wreaking havoc everywhere.

I received this free ebook from NetGalley in return for an honest review.
