Summary: One of the Best Nonfiction Books Ever
Comment: This is one of the most exciting, dramatic, inspiring, and disturbing books I've ever read. My husband found me a used copy, which I treasure. Much is written about how viruses mutate and are coming to get us; this book is quite simply the great morality play on the subject. That it's out of print?--somebody in publishing is really asleep on this one.

Rating: 4
Summary: An excellent read but slightly disturbing!
Comment: I read this book when I lived in Yola (just south of Lassa) by accident and was surprised to find I was so close to such an infamous place but never went there. For me it captures Nigeria pretty well as well as chronicling the path of such a lethal disease. I decided to buy a copy as it is such a good read and have been even more surprised that the "Out of Print" copy I got from Amazon was in really such excellent condition.

Summary: Exciting and informative reading.
Comment: This is a great book. It chronicles the discovery of Lassa Fever from Africa to the US. I cannot believe that this book is unheard of, whereas The Hot Zone is a best seller. If this book had been released today (OK, 2 years ago) it would have beaten out THZ on the charts. Instead, it is unavailable, and a much better written, more exciting story goes unread. I have lent this book to scientists and laypeople, and everyone who has read this book has raved about it. Do yourself a favor, and check your local library.
