John Kelly: "The Great Mortality" (HarperCollins)
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2005-03-25/john-kelly-great-mortality-harpercollins
The Black Death killed a third of the known global population in the middle of the 14th century. A writer specializing in science and medicine draws on first-hand accounts to paint an intimate portrait of the greatest natural disaster to afflict humanity. He looks at new theories claiming the outbreak was not bubonic plague, but perhaps anthrax or a disease like Ebola.
