The Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918-1919: New PerspectivesDavid Killingray, Howard Phillips Routledge, 2 sept. 2003 - 380 pagini The Spanish Influenza pandemic of 1918-19 was the worst pandemic of modern times, claiming over 30 million lives in less than six months. In the hardest hit societies, everything else was put aside in a bid to cope with its ravages. It left millions orphaned and medical science desperate to find its cause. Despite the magnitude of its impact, few scholarly attempts have been made to examine this calamity in its many-sided complexity. |
