Mauri’s Reviews > Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945 > Status Update

Already a bit ??? about Judt's grasp of infectious disease - he mentions "the Asian 'flu that swept through Europe in the wake of the First World War," presumably this is the so-called "Spanish Flu" of 1918, which was not contemporarily or in 2005 supposed to have Asian origins. Similarly, he attributes a high incidence of trachoma (a bacterial infection of the eye) to "acute vitamin deficiency." No?
