- The first book-length study of Ebola to consider the wider social, economic and political context of the epidemic.
- Brings together experts from a wide array of disciplines, including development studies, epidemiology, and African studies.
- The majority of contributing scholars are African, many of them based in countries affected by the epidemic.
- Offers a provocative critique of the international response, arguing that it was too late in recognising the scale of the outbreak.
- Warns that many of the social problems which exacerbated the epidemic remain, and offers practical recommendations for preventing similar outbreaks in the future.
