A People's History of Covid | Terina Hines

1 post | 1 to read

'Let the bodies pile high', then-PM Boris Johnson famously said during the Covid pandemic. And that's just what they did, 232,000 of them. How did it happen? How did the government fail so completely? A People's History of Covid looks at who died and why, at who were the heroes and who the villains in what has been the greatest peace-time tragedy of the 21st century so far.
'An accessible people’s history of Covid… wide-ranging, humane and very timely’ Kevin Courtney, Joint General Secretary of the National Education Union during the pandemic
‘Compelling and vivid, ‘A People’s History of Covid’ exposes both the catastrophic failure of government and the heroic stamina of working people who helped us survive.’ Jeremy Corbyn MP

A People's History of Covid | Terina Hines

4th & final #BookHaul was from the People's Bookshop, which had a fantastic mix of new & secondhand books, mostly from a socialist perspective.
Published 2024, A People's History of Covid is pretty much guaranteed to have me seething 😤
The cryptic-looking book with the cipher is a 1970 Folio edition of Einhard's Life of Charlemagne, which I'd hoped would have '70s-style illustrations, & doesn't, but the manuscript illuminations are a consolation.
