Table of ContentsReviewsCatharine Arnold's book offers us a coherent, well-researched and sanitary reminder that another pandemic could be just around the corner with equally horrific consequences. -- Sir Tony Robinson Fascinating ... lurid and pacy ... the page-turning fascination of a detective thriller. * BBC History Magazine * Catharine Arnold has done a remarkable job of relating the tales of a diverse set of sufferers, crafting an arresting and intimate narrative of the 1918 pandemic ... a gripping tale that swoops down into the grisly detail, then soars up to give a broad view over the landscape of this calamitous moment in human history ... Arnold writes beautifully, and starkly, of the tragedy that unfolded. * New Statesman * Author InformationCatharine Arnold is the author of the much-acclaimed London quartet, a series about the dark side of the capital, consisting of Necropolis, London and its Dead, Bedlam, London and its Mad, City of Sin, London and its Vices and Underworld, London City of Crime and Punishment.
