Crisis in the Red Zone by Richard Preston
4.0
Reading experience similar to the feeling I had watching Outbreak back when I was a kid, before I knew how any of this worked. If you prefer nonfic that reads like a novel, this fits.
To be honest I know so little about ebola that everything this man writes could be a lie and I'd be well set up to believe it anyway. Keeping this caveat in mind, I do feel like I learned a lot.
The ending is sad--he has so much hope for us, and look at us now. I did, however, feel validated by one of his interviewees who essentially turned herself into a prepper after ebola. Not that I've ever gotten around to all that, but I sure do think about it a lot.
