Unabridged Audiobook
Kennedy offers a brilliant and detailed survey of world history revealing the influence of pestilence in the weave of its tapestry. He shows an incredible depth of research and knowledge of the historical background along with what must be remarkable new detailed revelations from dna analysis of history’s dead and the causes. He tosses away much of his credibility as he l eats ahead of history to analyze current developments in societies beset with COVID 19. First, he simply accepts China’s admittedly “official” count of only 15,000 COVID deaths in the pandemic; and fails to acknowledge COVD’s minor status as a deadly pandemic when compared to the 30%, 50%, 90% mortality rates for historical pestilence. I recommend the book, in spite of this failing on current events.
