Everything Is Tuberculosis

by John Green

Genre: Narrative Nonfiction • Popular Science • Medical History • Public Health

Tuberculosis is preventable, treatable, and curable—so why does it still claim more than a million lives each year? In this compelling work, John Green weaves together history, science, and the story of one young patient to reveal how disease, poverty, and inequality remain deeply connected.

Thought-provoking, compassionate, and accessible, this book challenges readers to see tuberculosis—and global health—in a new light.

Perfect for readers who enjoy: narrative nonfiction, science writing, history, medicine, and books that inspire curiosity and empathy.
