I’m about 2/3 of the way through The Great Influenza about the 1918 pandemic by John M Barry and it’s absolutely phenomenal. It takes some time to really get going as he does the thorough and necessary work of providing context around our understanding of infectious disease at the time. So many fascinating parallels with the covid pandemic — explosive spread, insufficient medical resources, etc. Just tremendously well researched and vivid writing.
