Setting for disaster -- Outbreak culture -- Coveted data, research restricted -- The wavering response -- Rooted in compassion, weeded in conspiracy -- Epidemic of fear -- Investment and accountability -- Ebola's fallout -- Navigating the next epidemic.
An award-winning genetic researcher and a tenacious journalist examine each phase of the Ebola epidemic in West Africa, the largest and deadliest of its kind. Their postmortem identifies factors that kept key information from reaching doctors, complicated the government's response to the crisis, and left responders unprepared for the next outbreak.--
