‘An epic page-turning read…A truly fascinating insight into what author Dr Timothy Winegard calls “the deadliest hunter of human beings on the planet”.’ * Weekly Times on The Mosquito * ‘A retelling of the most celebrated wars and other conflicts in human history, but with the addition of another army: that of “general mosquito”, brought to centre stage…From the Peloponnesian wars through to World War II, Winegard reframes the action to show that malaria was the decisive factor.’ * Tim Flannery on The Mosquito * ‘An engaging guide, especially when he combines analysis with anecdote.’ * Economist on The Mosquito *
