Description
Getting to Zero: A Doctor and a Diplomat on the Ebola Frontline
A gripping account of the 2014 Ebola outbreak, this book tells the story of two individuals who risked their lives to save others. Dr. Sinead Walsh and Oliver Johnson, an Irish diplomat, worked tirelessly to combat the epidemic in Sierra Leone, exposing the often shocking shortcomings of the humanitarian response.
Through a blow-by-blow account, they reveal the immense courage of those who put their lives on the line every day to contain the disease. Their story is a powerful testament to the human spirit and a call to attention for the need for improved global preparedness in the face of emerging health crises.
