Fevers, Feuds, and Diamonds: Ebola and the Ravages of History

byPaul Farmer

Paul Farmer uses Fevers, Feuds, and Diamonds to investigate ebola and the Ravages of History through a carefully framed historical account. The narrative identifies the people, decisions, and pressures that shaped the subject, then places those developments within the connected fields of history and medical. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. Historical context and individual experience remain equally important to the book's explanation.
