The Black Death: A History From Beginning to End:

The Black Death: A History From Beginning to End by: Henry Freeman

Non-fiction: History, Science, E-book



This book is from a series that does a short version of the history of a person or event.  This one is on the Black Death as one would expect.  It covers the basics of the Black Plague in Europe as well as some on it in Asia and the Middle East.  As is common in a book of this type, it touches on a number of parts of the Black Death without getting to into any one part of it.  It would be a reasonable 1st book on the subject.
