Diseases, epidemics and the activities of doctors who tried to fight them are an integral part of world history. They influenced the actions of key political figures, changed the life and habits of people, and were reflected in great works of art. How did the sudden death of Alexander the Great in Babylon change the course of history? What does President Roosevelt's illness have to do with the US constitution? What "French disease" has been afflicting the whole world for more than 400 years?
The author of this book, a German doctor and historian, conducts a fascinating tour of the critical events in the history of the Western world related to people's health. You will find out in which cases the disease, having struck a key historical figure, decided the fate of states, how much epidemics changed society and what mistakes doctors of the past made without imagining their consequences.
