A cruel wind : pandemic flu in America, 1918-1920 / Dorothy A. Pettit and Janice Bailie.
The flu pandemic that began in 1918 touched with illness virtually every family in America. Making the disease even more frightening was the fact that the cause of influenza was unknown in 1918. The authors have drawn from the medical literature, newspaper accounts and letters, diaries, memoirs, and oral histories to write this social history of what it was like to live during the 1918-20 flu pandemic.--[book cover]
