History Of Disease
Serge R. Pospelov, born in the USSR, reflects on a tumultuous journey from school years to the final days in Russia in his book “HISTORY OF DISEASE: Life, Service, and Escape from the Russian Army.” His narrative encompasses the sarcastic nuances of life in the USSR and the Russian Army, detailing the struggles, survival, and disappointments during the tumult of the 1990s. Volume 2 contains memoir about his attempts to leave the country, leading to imprisonment under suspicion of espionage. Released without trial, he lived under the constant surveillance of the FSB until a daring escape took him from Russia to Belarus, then Poland, and ultimately to Canada.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book! History has always been a passion of mine, but History of Disease takes a fresh approach to explaining pivotal moments in human civilization through the lens of disease. The author did a brilliant job of making complex topics accessible and engaging for the general reader. I feel like I’ve gained a new perspective on history.

As a medical professional, I found History of Disease to be incredibly insightful. The detailed accounts of past epidemics and the scientific breakthroughs that helped combat them are nothing short of fascinating. It’s rare to find a book that so effectively balances historical accuracy with compelling storytelling. Highly recommended for anyone interested in both history and medicine!

This book changed the way I think about history. History of Disease offers a unique perspective on how epidemics and illnesses have shaped civilizations. I especially liked how the book draws parallels between past pandemics and modern health challenges. It’s informative, well-written, and incredibly relevant in today’s world.
