COVID WARS
America's Struggle Over Public Health and Personal Freedom
A sweeping, deeply researched chronicle of the COVID-19 pandemic that brings clarity to a complex and contentious chapter in American history.
In COVID WARS: America's Struggle Over Public Health and Personal Freedom, Ronald Gruner combines the rigor of a historian with the clarity of a skilled storyteller, tracing the roots of the Covid virus from the 19th century to the unprecedented global crisis of 2020–2022. With crisp, engaging prose, Gruner unpacks the science, politics, and economics behind the Covid-19 pandemic—and how each influenced America's fractured response.
Far more than a timeline of events, COVID WARS reveals the larger forces at play. From the early warning signs ignored by multiple administrations to the rise of misinformation and political division, Gruner shines a light on the missteps, the lessons, and the individuals who shaped the outcome—for better or worse.
What sets this book apart is its balance. Gruner acknowledges the costs of lockdowns and the strain on civil liberties while offering a fair, data-informed view of the choices made by public health officials under pressure.
If you're seeking a clear, even-handed account of what happened—and what could have been done differently—COVID WARS is essential reading.
