This terrifying outbreak of cholera in 1854 London ended up changing the world. Very Interesting! This is one of the best nonfiction books I've read in awhile. It's about a cholera epidemic in London in 1854, and the author does a great job of explaining the various factors that helped cause the outbreak, including a population explosion and the lack of a proper sewage system.
