Mukherjee recounts centuries of discoveries, setbacks, victories, and deaths, told through the eyes of his predecessors and peers, training their wits against an infinitely resourceful adversary that, just three decades ago, was thought to be easily vanquished in an all-out “war against cancer.” The book reads like a literary thriller with cancer as the protagonist.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRiveting, urgent, and surprising, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eThe Emperor of All Maladies \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eprovides a fascinating glimpse into the future of cancer treatments.
