Everything Is Tuberculosis The History and Persistence of Our Deadliest Infection

by John Green

2025

John Green crafts a powerful narrative that intertwines the personal story of a young patient in Sierra Leone with the vast, centuries-long history of tuberculosis. This deeply researched and empathetic account reveals how a once-romanticized illness became a stark symbol of global inequality, arguing for greater awareness and action against this preventable and curable disease. Readers who appreciate urgent, humanistic explorations of health and justice will find this book compelling.
