In 1918-1919 influenza raged around the globe in the worst pandemic in recorded history. Focusing on those closest to the crisis-patients, families, communities, public health officials, nurses and doctors-this book explores the epidemic in the United States.
Nancy K. Bristow is Professor of History at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington. She is the author of Making Men Moral: Social Engineering during the Great War. Bristow is the great-granddaughter of two of the pandemic's fatalities.
