Black Flu 1918

The influenza pandemic of 1918 was New Zealand's worst-ever public health disaster. In the space of about 6 weeks, over 6400 Pakeha died and an estimated 2500 Maori. This book shows how we coped back in 1918 and the lessons learned that may still be useful today. It is an inspiring and fascinating story that all New Zealanders need to know.
