A day-by-day chronicle of the 2013-2016 Ebola outbreak

摘要

This book is a comprehensive, nearly day-by-day, chronicle of the world's largest outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus disease. What stands out about Bullard's work is that it provides close-to-the-ground reporting from the affected countries. These sources include well-known Western-based media such as the Associated Press or the BBC, national newspapers like Times of India or Ghanaian Times, and local news sources from West Africa. For scholars and researchers who want to understand the outbreak as reported by local journalists, this book generously cites from locally popular newspapers like Awoko and Awareness Times in Sierra Leone and The Observer in Liberia. However, not many local papers are cited from the Francophone countries of Guinea, Mali or Senegal, probably because of a language barrier.
