A book review of 'The Cholera Years'

[Lorenzo]

Just recently purchased 'The Cholera Years', written by Charles E. Rosenberg.

I'll be updating this page regularly on the chapter development , information and my point of view.

I finally got my hands on a medical history piece. I hope it'll be interesting.

Chapter 1. The first chapter introduces us to the epidemic that was cholera , apparently, historically speaking this epidemic was common in europe, a disease prevalent in the poorer classes due to the lack of hygiene and clean water supplies. The first chapter documents how the poor in western european countries were maltreated.

Such a long winded first chapter, nonetheless, interesting to see that cholera was a disease, like smallpox, that hit many communities in the developing world.
