- Black Death
Pocket-guide to one of the most significant and catastrophic events in medieval history, which, in England alone, reduced the population from nearly six million to just over three million. Concise and well-informed, the book traces the origins of the disease and follows its terrible march through Europe from the Italian cities to the far-flung corners of Scandinavia. It describes responses to the plague and makes clear how helpless was the medicine of the day in the face of it. A vivid and dramatic account of one of the great catastrophes of history.
