That is such a specific and weird combo for a book, and there are shorter books from journalist types all the time, which makes it even bizarre.

I did read a history of Ebola when I was in high school that was well done as I recall, but I can't really rec a book on Ebola outbreaks during the ACTUAL PLAGUE TIMES.

...if I think of any later, will let you know, but my Goodreads history shelf might be a good place to trawl for that?
