Thomas Asbridge – The Black Death – A Global History
The Black Death is remembered as one of Europe’s great catastrophes, but it swept far beyond the continent’s borders, transforming societies from Cairo to Central Asia. Thomas Asbridge reveals the pandemic’s forgotten history, showing how one disease tragically affected empires, religions and millions of everyday lives. One of our leading medieval historians and the mind behind landmark BBC TV series, The Crusades, brings to life the darkest of eras. Full of fresh research and evocative parallels to our own times, his new book illuminates the human capacity for compassion and resilience in the face of unimaginable crises.
