Doom: The Politics of Catastrophe

byNiall Ferguson

In Doom, Niall Ferguson presents a historical account centered on the Politics of Catastrophe. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of history and medical. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. Doom leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
