Title: quite horrendous
Product review: This is one of the worst histories I have seen in some time. Especially as a scientist with a background in infectious diseases I am appaled by the casual an slimly founded conclusions the author makes from scarce historical research. The book is also diffusely written and jumps from issue to issue without an apparent guiding thread. The book is not foot-noted throughout, and it is not clear where the author was going with this in this at best sloppy approach to what could have been a very intriguing topic.
