A Slight Epidemic - The Government Cover-Up Of Bubonic Plague In A Major Amer City; What Happened And Why It Matters

"On a warm Sunday afternoon in late September, a large group of people from the working-class Macy Street district near downtown Los Angles gathered together on the front porch of a modest boarding house to swap stories and avoid the smoggy heat. One of the men told an off-color tale about finding a dead rat in the basement. Everyone laughed. Within six weeks, everyone on the porch would be dead. And a bubonic plague outbreak would be in full force. In the weeks that followed, local health officials, business leaders and politicians would contribute to one of the most ruthless cover-ups in U.S. history. They would deny and downplay the effects of the bubonic plague outbreak."--Cover.
