Index
Using numerous primary sources, the writers have produced firsthand
accounts of the outbreak in regions of the West largely neglected
in other histories. In addition to providing descriptions of the
virus and mechanisms of its variation, the writers emphasize social
and political conditions that played significant roles in the
outbreak. Highly recommended.
*CHOICE*
The Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918-1919 examines the
developments of a landmark epidemic in places -- such as provincial
Spain -- that have received insufficient attention from
researchers. An original and valuable study that contributes to
medical historiography and to the contemporary study of
medicine.
