The Great Mortality : An Intimate History of the Black Death, The Most Devastating Plague of All Time (P.S.)

A fascinating history of the devastating 14th century plague outbreak. The author brings the period to life with details of daily life and personal accounts. At times, the descriptions can be quite graphic, so it is not recommended as mealtime reading.
