the spring of 2020, as a new and deadly virus spread across the

Europe remained open. The Swedish COVID-19 strategy was
alternately lauded and held up as a cautionary tale by international
governments and journalists alike&#8213wih all eyes on what has
been dubbed &#8220ThSwedish Experiment&#8221 But what made
Sweden take such a different path?In The Herd, journalist Johan
Anderberg narrates the improbable story of a small nation that took
a startlingly different approach to fighting the greatest global
pandemic in over one hundred years. First, the government
instituted no restrictions. Then, it declined to order the wearing of
face masks. While the rest of the world looked on with incredulity,
condemnation, admiration, and even envy, Sweden stood alone.But
The Herd is more than just a look at the evolution of the singular
Swedish COVID-19 strategy. With remarkable ease, Anderberg
guides the reader through the history of epidemiology, R0-rates,
inoculation, and international organizations and collaborations. He
also presents a colorful cast of characters and the ticking-clock
decisions they were faced with on a daily basis. &#8220ThHerd is a
thrilling read about tight-knit groups of microbiologists and
epidemiologists, old grudges, new alliances, and fiery
emails&#8230Anderberg is ambitious, knowledgeable, and
fearless.&#8221#8213Dagens Nyheter&#8220Th Herd is exemplary

in its own right and a beautiful example of the important role

truth.&#8221#8213Barometern&#8220Reding Johan
Anderberg&#8217sbook is not just a way to get perspective and
background, detailed descriptions of how the Swedish strategy was
formed and what it led to. It is also a way to be released from the
debate, both in social and other media. It is extremely cooling. The
Herd is no debate book it is a nuanced report from an incredibly
strange time. So strange you need help finding the words to talk
about it.&#8221#8213Aftonbladet&#8220Jornalist Johan Anderberg

path through the pandemic&#8230Anderberg&#8217snarrative has

efficiency and humor, he visualizes his protagonists&#8230In a
climate where media personalities&#8213myelf included&#8213ofen
acted as supporters, critics, and hobby epidemiologists, Anderberg
has instead buried himself in facts and tried to paint the overall
picture&#8230Questions remain after having finished reading The
Herd, but this in no way takes away the honor of having
accomplished this impressive pioneering work with such energy and
wit from Johan Anderberg. The Herd is sure to greatly impact the
debate that we&#8217veonly seen the nascent beginnings of so
far.&#8221#8213Expressen
