Having heard about this worldwide flu pandemic all my life, it became necessary to find out what it was all about. This is an excellent book, very well researched and well written. Yes, it is frightening. Death was horrible and very fast. Having said that, it is also fascinating to read the history of medicine for that time, as scientists frantically sought a way to slow down this rampant killer. The politics and how the public was intentionally deceived about its severity add another dimension as well. You can bet I'll continue to get MY flu shot! D.
