THE HOT ZONE TRACES THE TRUE EVENTS SURROUNDING AN OUTBREAK OF THE EBOLA VIRUS AT A MONKEY FACILITY IN RESTON, VIRGINIA IN THE LATE 1980S.

IN ORDER TO CONTEXTUALIZE THE DANGER POSED BY THIS OUTBREAK, PRESTON PROVIDES BACKGROUND ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER VIRAL OUTBREAKS, PARTICULARLY IN AFRICA IN THE 1970S AND 1980S.
