The Plague Year by Lawrence Wright
America in the Time of COVID
A tightly reported narrative of the COVID-19 pandemic that traces the virus’s origins, the early outbreaks, and the race by scientists, public-health officials, and pharmaceutical companies to understand the pathogen and develop diagnostics, treatments, and vaccines; it interweaves personal stories from frontline workers and patients with investigations into political missteps, institutional failures, misinformation, and international tensions that shaped the global response, ultimately examining how science, politics, and human behavior combined to produce both catastrophe and rapid innovation.
