Marrin reveals how scientists and doctors knew little about influenza a century ago, as surgeons and physicians didn’t practice routine hygiene or quarantine and were often rendered helpless in fact, he argues (albeit briefly) that nurses turned out to be most useful against influenza, for they provided supportive care. The author does not neglect the squalor around the globe: ill soldiers in trenches and overcrowded barracks, suffering families, orphaned children, hunger and undernourishment, and deaths so numerous that bodies are stacked upon bodies. Liberally referencing research, partial statistics, diaries, medical records, newspaper articles, art, photographs, poetry, song, and literature, Marrin works to give an accurate depiction of the circumstances and ill-timed incidents that led to the global catastrophe, which killed at least three times as many people as the war worldwide. Historian Marrin ( Uprooted, 2016, etc.) begins four years earlier, at the beginning of World War I. A comprehensive history of the influenza pandemic of 1918, the worst global killer that humankind has experienced.

Now a relatively small publishing house – Visual Editions – has brought out its first book ( VE1) and it is an astonishing version of Shandy.
