Why read it?
1 author picked Pathogenesis as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I reviewed this for The Salisbury Review and wasn’t expecting to like it. But I did.
I had no idea that the Roman Empire had suffered various plagues and that these, rather than Christianity, may have led to its downfall. And maybe the Neanderthals died out because we modern humans gave them deadly diseases.
You wouldn’t think a book about plagues and epidemics could be fun, but it was!
