Overview
Why were nearly 10,000 people killed in six weeks in Hamburg, while most of Europe was left almost unscathed? As Richard J. Evans explains, it was largely because the town was a āfree cityā within Germany that was governed by the āEnglishā ideals of laissez-faire. The absence of an effective public-health policy combined with ill-founded medical theories and the miserable living conditions of the poor to create a scene ripe for tragedy. The story of the ācholera yearsā is, in Richard Evansās hands, tragically revealing of the ageās social inequalities and governmental pitilessness and incompetence; it also offers disquieting parallels with the worldās public-health landscape today, including the current coronavirus crisis.
