Description: From ancient bones to modern hospital wards, tuberculosis has shadowed humanity for millennia—claiming more lives than any other infectious disease in history. This sweeping account traces the story of the "White Plague" through the sanatoriums of the nineteenth century, Robert Koch's revolutionary discoveries, and the antibiotic breakthroughs that once promised eradication. Yet as drug-resistant strains and the HIV epidemic have shown, the fight is far from over. A compelling look at the science, history, and unfinished battle against one of medicine's most persistent foes.
