Reviews for The Black Death
5 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a great book/ audiobook! Anyone who will listen or read this material will certainly realized there's a significant similarities of the effect of the black death to the most recent Covid pandemic. Definitely a must read!
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Very poor narrator and inaccurate info. Plague is a bacterium as explained in the beginning of the book and then is frequently referred to as a virus.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Pure propaganda. Though I was getting a history lesson but instead got this propaganda
