I can't find a book by her with that name specifically, but she was a fairly prominent scholar in that area.

It also looks like she had an essay published in a book called "The Black Death"

The book he shows at 6:11 is the cover for a book called "The Complete History of the Black Death", but that book was written by Ole J. Benedictow and published this year and not by Barbara Tuchman as he says it is.

https://1lib.us/book/16583865/5c5bfb PDF is 14mb.

The Black Death was a disaster of huge magnitude, shaking medieval Europe and beyond to its economic and social core. Building upon his acclaimed study of 2004, Ole Benedictow here draws upon new scholarship and research to present a comprehensive, definitive account of the Black Death and its impact on European history. The medical and epidemiological characteristics of the disease, its geographical origin, its spread across Asia Minor, the Middle East, North Africa, Europe and Russia, and the mortality in the countries and regions for which there are satisfactory studies, are clearly presented and thoroughly discussed. The pattern, pace and seasonality of the spread of the disease reflect current medical work and standard studies on the epidemiology of bubonic plague. Benedictow's findings make it clear that the true mortality rate was far higher than had been previously thought: some 60% of Europe's population. In the light of those findings, the discussion of the Black Death as a turning point in history takes on a new significance. OLE J. BENEDICTOW is Professor of History at the University of Oslo.

The work of hers that he references as having read that is titled "The Black Death" is that essay that noted. I think it is likely that whoever edited the video and superimposed the first book's cover at that timestamp mistakenly put up the wrong book.

So I would say read what bird linked for what he is actually referencing, but the other book by Benedictow could still be of interest and might be worth grabbing.

You're welcome. That seems like what the case is with the books to me at least.
