Upon its original publication, Plagues and Peoples was an immediate critical and popular success, offering a radically new interpretation of world history as seen through the extraordinary impact--political, demographic, ecological, and psychological--of disease on cultures. From the conquest of Mexico by smallpox as much as by the Spanish, to the bubonic plague in China, to the typhoid epidemic in Europe, the history of disease is the history of humankind. With the identification of AIDS in the early 1980s, another chapter has been added to this chronicle of events, which William McNeill explores in his new introduction to this updated editon.Thought-provoking, well-researched, and compulsively readable, Plagues and Peoples is that rare book that is as fascinating as it is scholarly, as intriguing as it is enlightening. "A brilliantly conceptualized and challenging achievement" (Kirkus Reviews), it is essential reading, offering a new perspective on human history.

At this time of writing, The Audiobook Plagues and Peoples has garnered 9 customer reviews with rating of 5 out of 5 stars. Not a bad score at all as if you round it off, it’s actually a perfect TEN already. From the looks of that rating, we can say the Audiobook is Good TO READ!

I read the original Plaques and Peoples in the 1970s, then the updated edition from 1990s which added HIV and updated findings in other areas, and often recommend the book others. McNeill looks at history from the perspective of how infectious disease influenced its course, including diverse effects on things like where/when people settled, battle outcome, cultural development (ie the caste system in India), etc. Each chapter covers a different concept. While others have since written similar books, I have most enjoyed William McNeill's organization of material combined with a thorough yet entertaining writing style.But I keep loaning my copy of Plaques and Peoples to others, who then pass it to others and so I end up buying myself another copy to keep on my shelf and periodically reread. I get more from it each time I revisit the book or a chapter, because McNeill brings together history, infectious disease, societal changes and development, combining all to show how we got where we are and how infectious disease continues to have its influence.This book changed my view of history from being little more than memorising dates of battles for an exam in school courses, to a fascinating perspective of interconnections. I would highly recommend everyone in high school and adulthood read William McNeill's Plaques and Peoples.
