Sweeping across the known world with unchecked devastation, the Black Death claimed between 75 million and 200 million lives in four short years. In this engaging and well-researched audiobook, the trajectory of the plague’s march west across Eurasia and the cause of the great pandemic is thoroughly explored.

Inside you will hear about....

Fascinating insights into the medieval mind’s perception of the disease and examinations of contemporary accounts give a complete picture of what the world’s most effective killer meant to medieval society in particular and humanity in general.

This is a very good synopsis of the Black Death. There was just the right amount of numerical data and real-world experiences to make it poignant. I highly recommend it.

Listening to this in a post covid society was intense. Turns out, we learned a lot less than the author thought. As for the narration, it felt more like sitting in a college lecture than listening to an audiobook.
