As an entomologist who also loved history, I used to write and lecture about how insects affected history. This was mostly due to the diseases they vectored. As such, I was asked to write the section on "Insects and History" for the four-volume Encyclopedia of Entomology.

But I also became interested in diseases not vectored by insects, which also affected mankind's history, and did a lot of reading in that area too.

I already have a copy of this book in my library. If you are looking for a thrilling, novel-like story, this isn't the book for you. But if you are interested in how diseases affected history, this book is a good start.
