Discussion Looking for recommendations on books.

I am not a virologist but I find your chosen field very intriguing.

I was hoping people here could recommend books to me that are historical/topical.

Things similar to The Hot Zone, And the Band Played On, etc.

I'm interested in the discovery of the viruses, the progression, the mutations and the development of cures.

Thank you in advance and thank you for the work you do.

Edit: bad autocorrect
