The Biography of Cancer, The King of All Diseases, is a magnificent biography of cancer, written with deep passion: from thousands of years ago, when it first appeared in documents, to the 20th century, when an epic struggle was waged to treat, control and defeat it, and finally to today, when a completely new and radical understanding of its essence was achieved. … The story of cancer is a story of human creativity, resilience, and perseverance, as well as a story of arrogance, paternalism, and misperception. In his book, Mukherjee tells the story of centuries of obstacles, victories and deaths through the eyes of his predecessors and contemporaries who had to remain constantly alert against an enemy of incredible skill and unlimited resources. The book flows like an adventure novel in which cancer is the protagonist. From the King of All Diseases, Persian Queen Atossa, whose malignant tumor was probably removed by her Greek slave, to 19th century patients subjected to primitive radiation therapy and chemotherapy methods, to Mukherjee's own leukemia patient, Carla. It's about people who courageously endured grueling treatment programs to survive, and fought to advance our understanding of this iconic disease. The King of All Maladies is a fascinating, gripping, and profoundly important book that offers hope and clarity to people seeking to unravel the mystery of cancer. The Last 100 One of the 100 Best Books of the Year Time Powerful and assertive... One of the most extraordinary stories in the history of medicine - The New York Times Book Review The concept of "popular science" is far from explaining such success; because this is also a work of literature. Observer The King of All Maladies is a remarkable achievement. It is difficult to say that there are many books that describe any area of modern science and technology with such intelligence and passion and make it so understandable. The New Yorker [Mukherjee] makes science not only understandable but breathtaking... This is an unexpectedly uplifting and lively story that makes one want to read it. It, The Oprah Magazine The King of All Maladies, left me breathless, but what I felt when the book was finished was not despair. Our old enemy cancer now has a face.
