J. S. Breitnauer is a British born writer and editor who divides
her time between the UK and New Zealand. A graduate in History and
Sociology, and holder of an MA in Culture, Class and Power in
Europe from 1850, both from the University of Warwick, Breitnauer
has a particular interest in twentieth century history and the
effects of disease and war on society.
Breitnauer has worked as a journalist and editor since 2003,
contributing to a wide variety of newspapers, magazines and
journals in the UK, New Zealand and the UAE, as well as
contributing chapters to two Lonely Planet guides and parenting
title Is it Bedtime Yet?. She has also worked for the Anne Frank
Trust UK and The Holocaust Centre of New Zealand. In her writing,
Breitnauer likes to focus on individual stories that add a personal
dynamic to historical fact, to step into the shoes of those who
were there, and experience a moment of their lives.
Jaime Breitnauer puts the whole thing into perspective with a
fascinating account of the
origin and extent of the outbreak, at a time when people were
returning from the conflict expecting a
brave new world and instead confronting one of the deadliest
epidemics ever to hit mankind.-- "Books Monthly"
