Between August 1918 and March 1919 the Spanish influenza spread worldwide claiming over 25 million lives, more people than perished in the fighting of the First World War. It proved fatal to at least a half-million Americans. Yet, the Spanish flu pandemic is largely forgotten today. In this vivid narrative, Alfred W. Crosby recounts the course of the pandemic during the panic-striken months of 1918 and 1919, measures its impact on American society, and probes the curious loss of national memory of this cataclysmic event. This edition contains a new Preface. Originally published in 1976.An account of the course of the Spanish flu pandemic during the panic-stricken months of 1918 and 1919 which measures its impact on American society, and probes the curious loss of national memory of this cataclysmic event.
