[221]-230) and index. 520 $a The Black Death was the fourteenth century's equivalent of a nuclear war. It wiped out one third of Europe's population, taking million lives. And yet, most of what we know about it is wrong. The details of the Plague etched in the minds of terrified schoolchildren, the hideous black welts, the high fever, and the awful end by respiratory failure, are more or less accurate. But what the Plague really was and how it made history remain shrouded in a haze of myths. Now, Norman Cantor, the premier historian of the Middle Ages, draws together the most recent scientific discoveries and groundbreaking historical research to pierce the mist and tell the story of the Black Death as a gripping, intimate narrative. 650 0 $a Black Death $x History. 650 0 $a Plague $x History. 941 $a 6 952 $l WZPC325 $d 20180804012638.0 952 $l CXPC586 $d 20150213035502.0 952 $l SHPC094 $d 20130406010334.0 952 $l OSAX771 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l W7AX771 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D4C09A4C2B0011DEA052A807A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOJInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
