520    In December 2013, a young boy in a tiny West African 
       village contracted the deadly Ebola virus. The virus 
       spread to his relatives, then to neighboring communities, 
       then across international borders. The world's first urban
       Ebola outbreak quickly overwhelmed the global health 
       system and threatened to kill millions. In an increasingly
       interconnected world in which everyone is one or two 
       flights away from New York or London or Beijing, even a 
       localized epidemic can become a pandemic. Ebola's spread 
       through West Africa to Nigeria, the United Kingdom and the
       United States sounded global alarms that the next killer 
       outbreak is right around the corner and that the world is 
       woefully unprepared to combat a new deadly disease. From 
       the poorest villages of rural West Africa to the Oval 
       Office itself, this book tells the story of a deadly virus
       that spun wildly out of control and reveals the truth 
       about how close the world came to a catastrophic global 
       pandemic.
