The Black Death by Philip Ziegler In 1346, a series of natural disasters in the Orient set off a devastating chain of events that would claim one third of Europe's population over just three years. This period of unprecedented death and destruction had far-reaching social and economic consequences, reshaping the course of history. Philip Ziegler's comprehensive account draws on the records of contemporary chroniclers and later historians to present a masterful overview of this pivotal event. With its accessible style and accompanying illustrations, this book provides a detailed and thought-provoking exploration of the Black Death's impact on European society. The full horror and destruction wrought by this disease are laid bare in Ziegler's engaging narrative, offering a nuanced understanding of this critical moment in history.
