Invincible Microbe: Tuberculosis and the Never-Ending Search for a Cure

*"Who knew the biography of a germ could be so fascinating?â€â€”Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Â
This is the story of a killer thatÂ has beenÂ striking people down for thousands of years: tuberculosis.Â After centuries ofÂ ineffective treatments,Â the microorganism that causes TB was identified and the cure was thought to beÂ within reachâ€”but drug-resistant varieties continue to plague and panic the human race. The "biography" of this deadly germ and the social history of an illness that could strike anywhere are woven together in an engrossing, carefully researchedÂ narrative.
