PANDEMIC WW1 1918 Spanish Flu HOW DIDTHEY HANDLE IT Pale Rider Worst than virus

Description: Untitled Document On offer is the soft cover book as shown in the photo, Brand NEW With a death toll of between 50 and 100 million people and a global reach, the Spanish flu of 1918-1920 was the greatest human disaster, not only of the twentieth century, but possibly in all of recorded history. And yet, in our popular conception it exists largely as a footnote to WW1. The Spanish Flu was clearly a greater killer than current virus across the world in a much short period of time. There's no expert consensus on where it first broke out — it became known as the Spanish flu, but only because wartime censorship in other countries meant Spain was the first place it received widespread press attention. Many believe it probably started in army training camps on the Western Front. Soldiers returning from the war brought it back to their home countries. Others, though, think it broke out in the US state of Kansas and was spread around the world by American soldiers.In Australia, which had a population of 5 million, about 15,000 people died. In Pale Rider, Laura Spinney recounts the story of an overlooked pandemic, tracing it from Alaska to Brazil, from Persia to Spain, and from South Africa to Odessa. She shows how the pandemic was shaped by the interaction of a virus and the humans it encountered; and how this devastating natural experiment put both the ingenuity and the vulnerability of humans to the test. see pics which all taken from actual book Postage is shown in ebay postage above, We have a max $15.90 postage to Australian destination only sent at the same time.
