This book tells the story of the effects of the 1918-191 influenza pandemic on an Ireland in transition, moving between loyalty to empire expressed through the war service of many of its citizens, and separatism expressed in 1916 through rebellion and in 1918 through opposition to conscription. This work explores the way the leading nationalist group Sinn Fein adapted influenza into its propaganda, warning that political prisoners might die from it. The disease silenced cities and towns as it passed through: it tells poignant stories of death and destroyed families, letting people who lived through the time tell their stories. Some had their lives threatened b ythe disease, while others talk of the long term impact loss made to their families.. It looks at the contemporary medical understanding of the disease as Pfeiffer's bacillus rather than a virus, and at how doctors failed to find an effective cure. Many agreed the only thing that worked was good nursing. In the absence of centralized or local government making a plan to manage it, community groups and neighbours helped to feed and nurse the ill. In a statistical analysis it estimates that the disease probably infected about 800,000 or one fifth of Ireland's population. Many of those who died were children or young previously health adults. The proposed readeriship: general reader as well as students of Irish and British history , of medical history, and of the 1918-19 influenza pandemic.n Of interest to all interested in 20th century Irish history, those interested in planning for influenza pandemics, people interested in history of medicine, graduate students and undergraduate students interested in history of medicine and irish history.
