1.		The Black Death: An Intimate History from Weidenfeld & Nicolson Price: £14.00 Customer Review: I was intrigued by this book due to the village the author used for the setting of the book, Walsham in Suffolk, which is close to where I live. I had read other books concerning the Black Death and been bored senseless with clinical faceless facts about incubation dates and estimation of the exact... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

2.		Return of the Black Death: The World's Greatest Serial Killer from John Wiley & Sons Price: £5.99 Customer Review: This is in historical point of huge interest and potential importance. The idea that bubonic plague caused the Black Death is one that refuses to die, despite the clear and obvious (to anyone with a modicum of historical knowledge and understanding of the biology of bubonic plague)facts.

5.		The Black Death and the Transformation of the West (European History Series) (European history series) from Harvard University Press Price: £9.49 Customer Review: I had read late David Herlihy's book back in college and I just read it again. It is rather a very short book as it took me a little over an hour to read. It is a very readable, well written, and quite insightful.

6.		King Death: Black Death and Its Aftermath in Late-medieval England from Routledge Price: £20.89 Customer Review: An extremely lucid, and yet concise, book dealing with a complex period of English history. It combines well both the disciplines of Archaeology and History. Forget 'Ziegler' this is the best summary of the effects (or not) of the 'Black Death' that I have read to date.

7.		The Black Death: Natural and Human Disaster in Medieval Europe (World History Series) from The Free Press Price: £12.99 Customer Review: There has been nothing in modern medicine to parallel the devastation of the Plague.

Gottfried sets the stage of the emergence of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

9.		The Black Death from Penguin Books Ltd Customer Review: For anyone interested in the life and politics of the 14th. Century, Philip's Ziegler's book is essential reading.

Medical knowledge and remedies of the period are described, the ghastly... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		The Black Death 1346-1353: The Complete History from The Boydell Press Customer Review: I bought this book on the assumption that I would get a rounded view on the Black Death in it's first movement across Europe. By rounded I mean, that there would be sections on the medical side of the plague, how it spread and where and excerpts from people that lived at the time, and then to finish... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
