Drawing on firsthand diaries, newspapers, and medical records, Jim Murphy brings to life a city under siege by fear, disease, and uncertainty. The narrative follows doctors, civic leaders, and ordinary citizens as they struggle to understand—and survive—an invisible enemy long before modern medicine existed. Written with clarity and dramatic pacing, this book reads like a historical thriller while remaining scrupulously factual. An outstanding work for students, educators, and general readers interested in early American history, public health, and epidemics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Debs Book Paradise","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44130996125876,"sku":"201-6","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0511\/9279\/1220\/files\/plaguecover.jpg?v=1769563146","url":"https:\/\/debsbookparadise.com\/products\/an-american-plague-the-true-and-terrifying-story-of-the-yellow-fever-epidemic-of-1793","provider":"Debs Book Paradise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
