Pushkin Industries presents Fauci: the first-ever audio biography of Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and one of the most prominent voices in the US response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Written and narrated by New Yorker staff writer Michael Specter, Fauci combines Specter’s unparalleled reporting with exclusive new interviews and archival audio of Dr. Fauci; his wife, Christine Grady, RN, PhD; key colleagues; and peers. Listeners will hear Dr. Fauci speak firsthand about the harassment and death threats he has received as a result of his leadership and about the stress of simultaneously combating the COVID-19 pandemic and an information war waged by his boss, the president of the United States.

Specter has covered Dr. Fauci - and global public health - for more than three decades. In Fauci, Specter traces the doctor’s life from his childhood as a basketball-loving kid in Brooklyn through his leadership during the AIDS epidemic in the 1980s to today, when the response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the future of viral research are shaping humanity. With its chorus of voices, archival recordings, and original score, Fauci brings the immediacy and energy of the best documentary podcasts to the audiobook format.

Fauci exceeded my expectations. I expected to hear about COVID, but I was surprised by how much I learned about the HIV epidemic, and epidemiology as a whole. Absolutely amazing!! I learned so much.

One of the most riveting books I’ve heard!

I enjoyed this. Learning about Tony F and about how politics has injected itself (no pun intended) into science is both fascinating and appalling at the same time.

The only critique I have is that some of the sound bites were too short. The author uses them to make a point but some of them are only one or two words long. It would have been better to take the time to give a little bit more context.

Really Good

Challenges we need to understand!

Great short biography. covers his research work on diseases including HIV, malaria, and other deadly diseases. loved the included recordings of Fauci's voice discussing issues through the years. The author dislikes Trump as much as I do, so that probably affected my rating.

Very informative. The quote about Fauci being asked to have the omniscience of a god & being cursed for not being able to deliver was especially thought provoking. More level heads MUST will out. Or we’re literally doomed.

Wonderful

It's a page turner even if listening. Discovering facts about Anthony Fauci's life and work increased my respect beyond where I thought it could go. If I had to face a pandemic, he'd be my first choice in the lifeboat. Michael Specter's informed story and interviews confirms my opinion of the good doctor. I pray the next President takes his advice. The nation will be lost without him.
