"Plagues and Their Aftermath: How Societies Recover from Pandemics" by Brian Michael Jenkins is a timely and insightful exploration of the long-term impacts of pandemics on societies throughout history. Jenkins draws on a wealth of historical and contemporary examples to illuminate the complex social, economic, and political dynamics that shape the recovery process following a major disease outbreak.

I thought this was decent book about the recurring issues of global pandemics. From the earliest pandemic to in 400 BC to the current Covid 19. I enjoyed the author's research and detailed explanations about how pandemics effect every aspect of life on the planet. This was better than I thought it was going to be and a learned a lot about the reconstruction time, which we are all in now with Covid 19.

Recommended.
