A History of the World in Six Plagues

A History of the World in Six Plagues unveils a powerful and unsettling truth: epidemic diseases enter the world by chance, but they become catastrophic by human design.

In this groundbreaking work, Bonhomme explores how six pivotal diseases-Cholera, HIV/AIDS, the Spanish Flu, Sleeping Sickness, Ebola, and COVID-19-have shaped the trajectory of human history. With vivid storytelling and rigorous research, she reveals how pandemics have consistently widened the gaps in racial, economic, and sociopolitical divides, from the slave ships of the Atlantic to today's fractured healthcare systems.

How did a colonial obsession with sugar amplify the devastation of Cholera? Why did sleeping sickness become a weapon of empire in Tanzania? And how has COVID-19 magnified inequities in our modern, interconnected world?
