The Third Horseman: A Story of Weather, War and the Famine History Forgot
William Rosen
How a cycle of rain, cold, disease, and warfare created the worst famine in European history—years before the Black Death
In May 1315, it started to rain. For the seven disastrous years that followed, Europeans would be visited by a series of curses unseen since the third book of Exodus: floods, ice, failures of crops and cattle, and epidemics not just of disease, but of pike, sword, and spear. All told, six million lives—one-eighth of Europe?s total population—would be lost.
With a category-defying knowledge of science and history, William Rosen tells the stunning story of the oft-overlooked Great Famine with wit and drama and demonstrates what it all means for today?s discussions of climate change.
