This book documents the incredible story of a global pandemic as it ravaged the globe in the 1820s. Gripping first-hand accounts from doctors, politicians, and citizens bring to life the horror of the disease and the desperate attempts made to contain it. It took the concerted effort of global leaders working together, across borders and oceans, to finally defeat this deadly disease. From the crowded streets and hospitals of London to the palaces of European monarchs, the author vividly recounts the social, political, and scientific drama that unfolded. The book is a historical record of triumph over adversity and a meditation on our global interconnectedness, setting the stage for what would become the field of public health.
