Reviews
A haunting detective tale packed with villains and heroes, Black Death at the Golden Gate shows how bigotry and greed almost brought a major U.S. city to ruin--and how science and courage saved it. The events in this book may be 100 years old, but its message is as urgent as ever., A fascinating, in-depth look at a little-known episode in American history. . . . The story of the bubonic plague outbreak serves as an excellent lead-in for Randall to examine the advances that created modern cities., David K. Randall has created a meticulously researched history that unfolds like a thriller. I raced through this book in two days (horribly, the span of time it took bubonic plague to fell a victim). The unlikely heroes--bacteriologists and public health officers with long, flowing beards--battle villains most vile: racism, rotten politics, disregard for science, and Yersinia pestis. Black Death at the Golden Gate is both a page-turner and a cautionary tale: those villains still lurk., David K. Randall is a spellbinding writer. He has turned a critical chapter of medical history into a riveting tale that reads like a detective novel, chock-full of scandals and intrigue...Read Black Death at the Golden Gate because it's a page-turner, but more important, read this book because the issues Randall spotlights resonate today., A medical detective story... A mash-up of Erik Larson and Richard Preston... Randall is one of these writers who can take primary research--historical primary research--and just turn it into narrative., A complex tale of medicine, politics, race, and public health...Randall does good work in revealing the clamorous clash of public and private interests surrounding the outbreak...A tale that resonates with the outbreak of measles, mumps, and other supposedly contained epidemics today., A fascinating, in-depth look at a little-known episode in American history...The story of the bubonic plague outbreak serves as an excellent lead-in for Randall to examine the advances that created modern cities., A haunting detective tale packed with villains and heroes, Black Death at the Golden Gate shows how bigotry and greed almost brought a major U.S. city to ruin--and how science and courage saved it. The events in this book may be a hundred years old, but its message is as urgent as ever., A vivid, fast-paced and at times revolting history of the plague in San Francisco at the turn of the century. [Randall] describes in chilling detail how the disease can overwhelm the human body... The book unfolds like a medical thriller... With the latest upsurge in measles cases making the headlines, Mr. Randall's book is a timely reminder that public health challenges responsible for killing tens of millions of people world-wide are not confined to the past., A complex tale of medicine, politics, race, and public health. . . . Randall does good work in revealing the clamorous clash of public and private interests surrounding the outbreak. . . . A tale that resonates with the outbreak of measles, mumps, and other supposedly contained epidemics today., David K. Randall has created a meticulously researched history that unfolds like a thriller. I raced through this book in two days (horribly, the span of time it took bubonic plague to fell a victim). The unlikely heroes--bacteriologists and public health officers with long, flowing beards--battle villains most vile: racism, rotten politics, disregard for science, and Yersinia pestis. Black Death at the Golden Gate is both a page-turner and a cautionary tale: Those villains still lurk., This story of an epidemic that wasn't is a gripping historical mystery and a key cautionary tale for our own time.
