This is not just a book about a disease; it is the definitive biography of our most feared adversary: cancer. Pulitzer Prize-winner Siddhartha Mukherjee chronicles this “emperor’s” story across 4,000 years—from its first appearance in ancient Egypt to the front lines of today’s scientific battles. Part detective story, part medical thriller, and part human history, this is the epic saga of humanity’s ingenuity, resilience, and relentless quest to understand and defeat a cunning foe that lives, grows, and dies within our own bodies.
