In the 14th century, plague swept across Europe, Asia and North Africa with terrifying speed, killing millions and tearing apart the medieval world.Bestselling historian Thomas Asbridge tells this vast human story through the Christians, Muslims and Jews caught in its path.

From cities overwhelmed by death to acts of courage, cruelty and compassion, he reveals how the Black Death shattered societies, weakened empires and transformed everyday life and why its haunting story still grips us today.
