More Deadly Than War: The Hidden History of the Spanish Flu and the First World War


This incredible non-fiction book on the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 reads more like a thriller than a non-fiction text. Especially pertinent to the present coronavirus pandemic, it speaks to what happens when mankind does not take proper precautions due to the history of the times; in this case, WWI. Riddled with fantastic black and white photos and an appendix that reads like a second book, More Deadly Than War by Kenneth C. Davis is informative, interesting, and extremely eye opening, especially during our world's present history. NOTE: Who knew that Walt Disney lied about his age and became an ambulance driver during WWI after surviving the Spanish Flu!!
