Publisher Comments:

The Black Death first hit Europe in 1347, ripping through towns, villages, and families. Men, women, children, young and old succumbed to a painful, drawn-out death as pustules, abscesses, and boils erupted all over their bodies. Subsequent attacks of the disease, coming almost every decade, so limited the population that it was not until the 18th century that it managed to surpass the levels of the 1340s. For over 300 years, Europeans were stalked by death. In the end, this mysterious disease that had terrorized, terrified, and killed millions, disappeared as inexplicably as it had appeared.

Synopsis:

The definitive history of the greatest catastrophe in human history which wiped out fifty per cent of Europe's population. By 1340, Europe was beset by a host of problems. Poverty, unemployment and vagrancy were all on the increase. However, by the end of the century there had been a dramatic change, but from a wholly unforseen and unexpected quarter: the Black Death.

fantastically written, i must say, captivating and informative, slightly short, but is perfect for research due to its specificity on the plague, a great buy for recreation or academics
