Rats, Lice, and History by Hans Zinsser. 4 stars

#28 for 2011:


Rats, Lice, and History by Hans Zinsser.  My edition was actually printed 1967 by Bantam Science and Mathematics.

This was surprisingly entertaining and insightful.  Probably deserves more like 4.5 stars if I had the patience for some of the more intricate explanations, or 5 stars if I had actually sat down with a mind for the biography of typhus and not just a good read.
