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

DIVE INTO A POWERFUL, URGENT EXPLORATION OF THE WORLD'S DEADLIEST INFECTIOUS DISEASE, ITS SURPRISING HISTORY, AND A CALL TO ACTION BY BELOVED AUTHOR JOHN GREEN.

Tuberculosis has been entwined with humanity for millennia. Once mistakenly romanticized as a poetic affliction, today it is recognized for what it truly is: a devastating disease of poverty that thrives along the trails of healthcare inequity and global injustice.

In 2019, acclaimed author and advocate John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. Striking up a deep and lasting friendship, Green witnessed firsthand the heartbreaking human toll of an infection that is entirely curable and preventable, yet still claims over a million lives every year. In Everything Is Tuberculosis, Green tells Henry’s moving story, weaving it seamlessly together with the gripping scientific and social histories of how TB has shaped human civilization—and how our collective choices will determine its future.
