The Emperor of All Maladies
by Siddhartha Mukherjee
by Siddhartha Mukherjee
Remarkable book that traces the history of cancer. Very informative, although given the subject matter also difficult to read. I'm much more knowledgeable now about what cancer is and the various strategies used by the medical establishment over the years to try and cure it. The author has woven many compelling strands of narrative into the book, which makes it both heartbreaking at times yet inspiring at other times. Very powerful book.
