Notes
With the Covid19 Crisis of 2020, the world has become more aware of the "Spanish" Flu Pandemic of 1918/1919. From our point of view, as a Research Collection, the bibliography of this, a category we have always viewed as important, has been sadly lacking in depth. However, the signs are that this state of affairs is changing, and more books are manifesting themselves. We already understand that the spread of the virus has always been strongly associated with the preparation and then the journey to the Western Front undertaken by the Americans. This book is about that, it is a serious academic treatment of an intensely interesting subject, and adds significantly to the Collection.
