	Cartwright, F. F. 1972. Disease and history. Dorset. New York. From the Book Jacket: "The impact of disease on history has been underestimated by historians; this books sets out to correct that error....Many questions are raised by this new approach to history: was malaria more catastrophic for the Roman Empire than the attacks of the Goths and Vandals? Did the Black Death hasten the end of feudalism? Did syphillis turn the initially benevolent reign of Ivan the Terrible into bloodthirsty tyranny? Was Cortez' most powerful ally in his decimation of the Aztecs the diseases the Spaniards brought to Mexico? Did Queen Victoria, by transmitting hemophilia to the Romanov's, contribute to the fall of the Russian monarchy in 1917?"
