#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 readers 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.

A national hero
I bought this book to support Dr. Fauci and give him a vote of approval with my purchase. I didn’t really intend to listen to it. I’m glad that I did listen to it because it was very informative and I learned a lot of things that I had not previously known even though I thought I was paying attention to all the events covered in this book. I highly recommend the book. One additional note: Dr. Fauci has a wonderful and distinctive voice, but his speech pattern is a bit ponderous. I found that listening to this book at 1.25 speed retained the qualities of his voice, but countered the effect of his sometimes too slow and deliberate speech.
American Hero!
Poor guy had to deal with the uneducated
Great book
Very interesting life story, and all in the soothing voice of Dr. Fouci!
