Liked It Rated 5 stars “Excellent history of the rise of the early European nations, and the role of bubonic plague in shaping the medieval world. It read like a thriller, and I could hardly put it down.” see full review » see other reviews »

Didn’t Like It Rated 1 stars “I was actually hoping that I would just catch the bubonic plague so that I would be put out of my misery. It takes a lot to make this subject boring, but this rises to the challenge.” see full review » see other reviews »

  “Very informative about Justinian, Constantinople and the plague, the origins of the plague and how it spread throughout Asia minor and Europe.”
