Anthony Fauci's memoir reaches back to his boyhood in Brooklyn, New York, and carries through decades of caring for critically ill patients, navigating the whirlpools of Washington politics, and behind-the-scenes advising and negotiating with seven presidents on key issues from global AIDS relief to infectious disease preparedness at home.

What The Reviewers Say

Alexandra Jacobs,
The New York Times Book Review
A well-pressed gray flannel suit of a book with a white coat buttoned over it: a calm reply to deranged calls for this distinguished public servant’s head on a pike. Is it measured and methodical in sections? Sure. So is science.
Becca Rothfeld,
The Washington Post
Eventful.
Jerome Groopman,
The New Yorker
It is telling that his memoir is less dominated by recent events than one might expect.
