| Zusammenfassung: | Invisible Battlefield: A Global History of Epidemics is not simply a retelling of history; the book takes the reader on a riveting journey through the harrowing landscape of pandemics, offering a profound exploration of the far-reaching consequences of epidemics throughout history. Chapter by chapter, the book navigates the intersection of medical history, ethical dilemmas, and the race for vaccines. Epidemics are not just medical challenges; they permeate every facet of life, leaving an indelible mark on political, social, and personal spheres. As a stark example, the author unravels the mysteries of the pneumonic plague and smallpox outbreaks in Moscow in the mid-20th century. The text reveals how the secret police, honed by the harrowing Great Terror, quickly identified and isolated those in contact with a plague patient in a covert operation, preventing the outbreak from becoming an epidemic and shedding light on the complex interplay between public health crises and government control.In the chapter entitled 'Truth, Lies, and Ethics,' the book offers a comprehensive analysis of the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic and the rapid development of vaccines.Whether the reader is captivated by medical history, intrigued by the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic, or simply fascinated by the resilience of the human spirit, Invisible Battlefield promises an enlightening and unforgettable reading experience |
