Everything Is Tuberculosis: The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

"Tuberculosis has preyed on the most vulnerable humans since the dawn of our species. But author John Green argues that we now have the knowledge and resources to defeat the disease – we lack only the will. Spun through surprising histories (did you know TB led to the creation of the Stetson hat?) and personal anecdotes from a modern-day survivor, Everything Is Tuberculosis makes an urgent case for the kind of global health initiatives that the U.S. has been turning against. It’s also witty, cogent and achingly beautiful – everything we’ve come to expect from the writer of The Anthropocene Reviewed and The Fault in Our Stars."
