The coronavirus pandemic has shown that, despite medical advances, we are defenseless against a new virus. This is not the first time the world has faced such challenges. Just over 100 years ago, the Spanish Flu killed far more people than the First World War. In historian John Barry's book, the reader will find much that is familiar. Lies and cowardice of politicians and officials, heroism and desperate enthusiasm of scientists and doctors, fear and panic of ordinary people - all these are signs of the present time. You will see how the world then was not ready to wage two wars simultaneously - with each other and with a deadly virus that killed, like enemy bullets, primarily the youngest and strongest. But this book is also a hymn to science, a hymn to medicine: it is not only a vivid and exciting description of the fight against the pandemic, but also a gallery of portraits of people of science, doctors, politicians. In the future, mankind will have to face unknown diseases many times, so it is necessary to learn the lessons of the past to avoid repeating previous mistakes.
