Black Death at the Golden Gate: The Race to Save America from the Bubonic Plague

byDavid K. Randall

Black Death at the Golden Gate examines the Race to Save America from the Bubonic Plague, combining David K. Randall's clear narrative with the perspective of a historical account. Moving between close detail and context, the book explains the forces surrounding its subject and connects them to the connected fields of history and medical. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. The book ultimately clarifies what made these developments possible, who experienced their effects, and why the story remains significant.
