Story
In 1918, the world faced the deadliest pandemic in human history. What can the story of the so-called Spanish Flu teach us about the fight against present day crises and how to prepare for future outbreaks? At the height of WWI, history's most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, then exploded, killing as many as 100 million people worldwide. It killed more people in 24 months than AIDS killed in 24 years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century.

This book charts the history and legacy of the worst global pandemics and begins with the history of the diseases, including the Spanish flu and many others and how they shaped subsequent events, bringing down nations while inadvertently lifting others. The weapon against pandemic is the truth. Read why in this account of the Spanish influenza.
Publisher's Summary
Are you looking for a complete guide on pandemic? Then keep reading...
Why was the Spanish Flu known as the Spanish Flu? What caused the Spanish Flu? Where did the Spanish Flu come from?
The Spanish Flu did not originate in Spain, although news of it did. At some point of global warfare, Spain was an impartial state with an unfastened media that covered the outbreak from the start, first reporting on it in Madrid in late 1918. In the meantime, Allied countries and the crucial Powers had wartime censors who protected information of the flu to hold morale excessive. Because Spanish information resources were the most effective ones reporting on the flu, many believed it originated there (the Spanish, in the meantime, believed the virus came from France and called it the “French Flu”).
Scientists up to this day do not understand in which country did the Spanish Flu really originated, though theories factor to France, China, Britain, or the USA, where the first acknowledged case was found at Camp Funston in Riley, Kansas, on March 11, 1918.
A few believe infected infantrymen transmitted the sickness to other navy camps throughout the United States of America, then delivered it to distant places. In March 1918, 84,000 American infantrymen headed across the Atlantic and were accompanied with the aid of 118,000 more the following month.
This audiobook covers:
- History of Flu Epidemic of 1918
- The Rampant Virus
- How Did the Flu Epidemic of 1918 Spread?
- Toward the End of The Great War
- The War and Virus that Changed World
- And much more!
It’s unknown precisely where the unique stress of influenza that induced the pandemic came from; however, the 1918 flu was first found in Europe, the USA, and regions of Asia.
