The author delves into the history of tuberculosis to when it was a widespread and devastating illness that killed countless people. The author takes a multidisciplinary approach, exploring how tuberculosis has been understood by doctors and patients since the 1800s and how it has been framed within debates around sanitation, hygiene, and poverty. Their work reveals how the disease has influenced the government's development of public health policy and its duties of care toward its citizens. This is not a medical book, but a narrative history about how doctors, statisticians, scientists, politicians, and patients responded to the challenge of tuberculosis in the UK.
