From the rear cover
Tuberculosis kills over 3,000,000 people in the world every year, more than AIDS, malaria, and tropical diseases combined. It is the leading infectious disease cause of death, and represents more than one-quarter of the world's preventable deaths.
Captain of Death: The Story of Tuberculosis recounts the early evidence of the disease, the stories of some notable people who suffered from it, the work of those who cared for afflicted patients, and the struggle of researchers to understand it and develop effective treatments for it. The book brings to the reader a clear understanding of the past, present, and future of the disease John Bunyon called "Captain among these Men of Death" in 1660.
