This work chronologically investigates various epidemic diseases that have struck humanity from ancient times up to the author’s contemporary period. Drawing from a rich blend of historical records, Bascome delves into the nature, causes, and prevention of these pestilences, highlighting the profound impact they have had on society.  The opening of the book sets the stage for its comprehensive analysis, beginning with accounts of devastating pestilences starting from 1495 B.C. in Egypt during the reign of Pharaoh IV. Bascome recounts significant plagues, citing specific instances and their effects on both populations and livestock, while describing the environmental conditions that preceded them. The vivid and detailed descriptions of various epidemics serve as a forewarning of the interplay between nature, societal structures, and public health, emphasizing how historic responses to such crises provide critical insights into combating future pandemics.
