Review: "The 1918-1919 Spanish Influenza pandemic was the greatest state calamity to befall NSW. Over 6,000 citizens of NSW died, tens of thousands were hospitalised and about one third became infected. The citizens of NSW stoically faced unemployment, bureaucratic failings, and the deaths of their loved ones as three waves of influenza infections hit the State over eight months. The national emergency brought to the surface the tensions between the Commonwealth and the States, between the Church and the State, and between the wealthy and impoverished. This book presents for the first time a comprehensive picture of this monumental crisis on NSW society." -- BOOK JACKET.
