Story
March 1945. A handful of very young Allied operatives are parachuted into the remote jungled heart of the Japanese-occupied island of Borneo, east of Singapore, there to recruit the island's Indigenous Dayak peoples to fight the Japanese. Yet most speak next to no Borneo languages and know little about Dayaks, other than that they were once headhunters who might kill them on arrival. For their part, some Dayaks have never before seen a white face.

When the news first began to trickle out of China about a new virus in December 2019, risk-averse financial markets were alert to its potential for disruption. Yet they could never have predicted the total economic collapse that would follow in Covid-19's wake, as stock markets fell faster and harder than at any time since 1929, currencies across the world plunged, investors panicked and even gold was sold off.

In March 1942, twenty-five-year-old kindergarten teacher Magda Hellinger and nearly a thousand other young Slovakian women were deported to Poland on the second transportation of Jewish people sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp. The women were told they'd be working at a shoe factory. At Auschwitz the SS soon discovered that by putting Jewish prisoners in charge of the day-to-day running of the accommodation blocks, camp administration and workforces, they could both reduce the number of guards required and deflect the distrust of the prisoner population away from themselves.

Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The number one New York Times best seller.
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. But this was not the Middle Ages, and 1918 marked the first collision of science and epidemic disease.
Magisterial in its breadth of perspective and depth of research, The Great Influenza is ultimately a tale of triumph amid tragedy, which provides us with a precise and sobering model as we confront the aftermath of Covid-19 and future pandemics looming on the horizon.

Important message to learn from the past
History repeats itself and we must learn from it. Extensive research done by the author. Maybe a book rather to read than to listen to. Although the narrator is an award winning actor for my ears over the top and hard to listen to for this topic.

This knowledge is available yet we are unprepared
This book is brilliant and very thorough. With all this known in 2004 how can the governments of the world be so un-prepared for this covid-19 pandemic. It is also scary to think about how the USA transformed into an authoritarian regime as no-one could speak truth without being accused of being a traitor to the war effort. Again there are so many parallels to our covid-19 pandemic where an authoritarian regime withheld information. So sad we cannot learn from our past mistakes

An Amazing Story Well Read
I really enjoyed this interesting book which has so much to say to us about our present pandemic. Although written before the present Coverd 19 pandemic, the cast of heroes and villains are familiar to us. The text itself is occasionally overstated and breathless; every scientist seems to be the most distinguished in his field, every laboratory at the top of its form, every crisis unpredictable and devastating. This is a minor qualification, however , and the overall effect is very positive. The writer makes a few concessions to non-scientific readers but this is a positive, I’m sure. Be prepared to learn a great deal more about viruses and research than you ever thought you wanted to know.

Well researched, well told, but entirely US-centric
Perhaps the title of the book should be: The Great Influenza In America. After reading the book, one might believe that the only medical experts dealing with the flu were in America, just as the only sufferers were Americans. That said, the research and the reconstruction of the flu's unfolding in America, along with the medical and scientific responses is brilliant.

SOBERING
Now that the next great pandemic is here I am certainly glad that, for the most part, we seem to have learnt at least some lessons from 1918. That flu was definitely more scary than Covid however, despite the fact that we are yet to have the third wave ( although at the time of writing this I think it is exploding in China). This is an absolute must read on so many levels. The pure joy of history, the fascination of how far we have come in medical practice and sophistication during the 20th century (and yet how far we still have to go) and as a potential warning of the very many mistakes made during that previous pandemic. It is also an excellent read for anyone stupid enough to be an anti-vaxxer in this day and age and yet clever enough to be saved from their own stupidity. The story of how vaccines work due to their early development is a fascinating listen. The tragedy of the times was certainly underplayed during my lifetime, it's almost as if it has been fated to be expunged from history. The actual horror of those years cannot be stated too strongly. History will repeat itself and we need to remember how to deal with it.

I should know the focus in this book was US. I was expecting a more global book/approach and I did not get it. Still good book to read despite the repetitions and, in many ocassions, bad structure of the narrative. It was published before Covid19 and that gives a different value to the book, in particular for chapters talking about the future. Chapter 4 and Afterwords are the key chapters if you want to know about Influenza. It shocked to me how obvious was for many "people" what was coming. The rest of the book is about how NA confronted the pandemic (or just not confronted, specially in some states), US medicine state before, during and after pandemic and how politicians are key in managing pandemics. Specifically interesting is the US propaganda machinery used during the war to suppress any information about the influenza pandemic that cost millions of lives. (pure propaganda that will make Goebbels smile and McCarthy impressed). Another point that has puzzled me is the lack of (or deeper) mention in history books and literature to this event that cost millions of lives. Just one paragraph in history books and no literature at all as I recollect from school. Anyway, plenty similarities with our current pandemic and from some figures the statement "It is just Influenza." Defenetly a lesson not learnt.

Why do I not know this story already?!
100 million dead, overwhelmingly the young and the fit. Authorities not knowing what to do. Children starving to death as their parents died and neighbours too scared of the disease to come and help.
Why do we not know the story of the 1918/19 Flu pandemic as well as we know that of WWI, WWII and the Holocaust?
If anything we should know it better as the risk of it happening again was so stark. As COVID-19 shows. Thankfully the latter is a mild strain in comparison.
This book is perhaps overly long and focuses overwhelmingly on the USA (where the virus, despite it’s name as ‘The Spanish Flu’ probably started). The diversions into the emergence of American Medicine are however interesting. At the turn of the 20th century, lack of public funds and a believe in deregulation which gave rise to quackery and a lack of public trust, meant US medicine and medical research lagged far behind Europe.
The key story however is one that should be taught to every schoolchild and politician.
Because the book was written and recorded before Covid-19, the afterword is particularly depressing. The author concludes that only far greater spending and preparedness on a further flu outbreak will save thousands of lives and only politicians willing to invest in advance, and tell the truth when an outbreak occurs can prevent a feeling of terror, helplessness and economic collapse.
This should have been put on Netflix 6 months ago. Essential listening.

Interested filling sandwiched by long ramblings
The core subject matter of this book was fascinating and well-written, but the listener must endure needlessly long and detailed diatribes about various US scientists both before and after the actual story of the pandemic. Even when it finally gets to that the story, whole book remains crassly America-centric, as if only Americans suffered and only American scientists saved the day.
I didn't bother with the last 80 minutes as the book once again descended into trivial detail over what happened to the brave American science after the pandemic.
Narrator also prone to a melodramatic tone.
