The Black Death and The Great Plague

The Black Death by Philip Ziegler – A series of natural disasters in the Orient during the fourteenth century brought about the most devastating period of death and destruction in European history. The epidemic killed one-third of Europe’s people over a period of three years, and the resulting social and economic upheaval was on a scale unparalleled in all of recorded history. Synthesizing the records of contemporary chroniclers and the work of later historians, Philip Ziegler offers a critically acclaimed overview of this crucial epoch in a single masterly volume. The Black Death vividly and comprehensively brings to light the full horror of this uniquely catastrophic event that hastened the disintegration of an age.

The Great Plague in London by Walter George Bell – The Great Plague of London in 1665 was a direct descendant of the Black Death: a last and terrible visitation of that pandemic before plague finally burned itself out in north-western Europe.
