Finalist blurb: The plague didn?t go away with the middle ages. Jarrow?s in-depth look at the third plague pandemic includes its visit to the US and how politics and racism stymied doctor?s best efforts to prevent its spread. A fascinating introduction to the medical and social history of a disease we often think is in the distant past, but is still with us today.
