    This 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!

    Very 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.
