Publisher's Summary

#1 New York Times Bestseller

The memoir by the doctor who became a beacon of hope for millions through the COVID pandemic, and whose six-decade career in high-level public service put him in the room with seven presidents

“An eventful autobiography [and] a classic American story…Gripping.”—The Washington Post

“One of the most consequential and most prominent [careers] in American medicine in the past fifty years.”Jerome Groopman, The New Yorker

Anthony Fauci is arguably the most famous–and most revered–doctor in the world today. His role guiding America sanely and calmly through Covid (and through the torrents of Trump) earned him the trust of millions during one of the most terrifying periods in modern American history, but this was only the most recent of the global epidemics in which Dr. Fauci played a major role. His crucial role in researching HIV and bringing AIDS into sympathetic public view and his leadership in navigating the Ebola, SARS, West Nile, and anthrax crises, make him truly an American hero.

His memoir reaches back to his boyhood in Brooklyn, New York, and carries through decades of caring for critically ill patients, navigating the whirlpools of Washington politics, and behind-the-scenes advising and negotiating with seven presidents on key issues from global AIDS relief to infectious disease preparedness at home. ON CALL will be an inspiration for listeners who admire and are grateful to him and for those who want to emulate him in public service. He is the embodiment of “speaking truth to power,” with dignity and results.

1000% respect for Antony Fauci

A good read. Besides President Obama, there are no other living persons that has done so much for humanity than you. Can't wait to read your next book.

Remarkable Man

What an honour to hear the story of Anthony Fauci's life, and to understand the unwavering dedication and brilliance it has taken during his remarkable career to help save the lives of so many people worldwide. It saddens me that he has had to endure the ignorance and uninformed opposition from those along the way, who didn't take the time to realize that his work was to protect them as well as the rest of civilization. This book held my interest from start to finish, and I hope it reaches a huge audience. The world is a better place when people like Dr Fauci have been there to help protect us all.

Interesting and insightful

I highly recommend this book. Dr. Fauci gives a detailed account of his humble upbringing, his education and his career. He was raised by parents who cared about the wellbeing of others and how that shaped his career. Dr. Fauci has an incredible amount of knowledge and experience as a physician-scientist and immunologist. Among numerous other awards, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush. Dr. Fauci shares his knowledge on various diseases that have challanged our medical system including AIDS, Smallpox, Zika, Covid and others. The United States should be incredibly proud of this man. 🇨🇦

A captivating book, thank you

So interesting

What a rewarding life. In his own voice it was like someone telling you their important career and how he got to be so integral in keeping people alive.

Gripping story

I love that Dr. Fauci goes through his whole career, including residency, and the most important historical events he was involved in. Many of the stories are deeply moving. It is clear he deeply cared for all of his patients, and is a model for public service and healthcare professionals everywhere.
