Rekommenderad läsning om den epidemi som blev den senaste pestepidemin i Sverige, föga känd. ( )

I read this now during the Corona/CoVid-19 pandemic. Very interesting to compare now and then - and that members of the Public Health Agency, as well as the government and parliament in Sweden would have read this book - to get a perspective on decisions and especially non-decisions.
I enjoyed the format of this book - more a journalistic travel back in time than being a full academic report. The real persons that carries the narrative through their letters and diaries gives a reality check and brings the human to human dimension to the book. ( )
