Publisher Description
In this New York Times best-seller, Norman F. Cantor digs through the medical evidence and concludes that the Black Death of the 14th century was probably two diseases at once: bubonic plague and anthrax. He shows how these diseases affected the masses as well as individuals, and thus altered history. Concise, informative, and touched with dark humor, this book is a startlingly fresh view of a frightening epidemic.

“I love Cantor’s writing style – very matter-of-fact without succumbing to a text-book boringness of the sort that cause readers to lose interest in even favourite subjects after a few pages. He’s a very engaging and impeccably well-reserached author.
