Living with Enza: The Forgotten Story of Britain and the Great Flu Pandemic of 1918

'Never since the Black Death has such a plague swept over the face of the world, ' commented the Times, '[and] never, perhaps, has a plague been more stoically accepted.' When the Great Influenza pandemic finally ended, in April 1919, 228,000 people in Britian alone were dead. This book tells the story of the Great Influenza pandemic.
