A 'Fascinating and Entertaining New Page Turner'

Thank you to the Los Angeles Times for calling The Remedy a "fascinating and entertaining new page turner of a book"!

"The Remedy is a thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating journey through several decades of European history and an intimate portrait of two once-obscure doctors who shaped it. It's a book that illustrates how the imagination and the intellect can work in concert to cure a disease, or to delight an audience of millions." - Los Angeles Times

'The Bacteria Precede Us. They Outnumber Us. And They Will Outlast Us.'

Many thanks to Deborah Hopkinson at BookPage for her excellent review of The Remedy. 

"Goetz weaves together a compelling narrative, chronicling the struggle to find the causes and cures for some of the most ferocious diseases that have stalked humans (and animals) through time: cholera, smallpox, anthrax and tuberculosis. ... Perhaps most importantly, The Remedy reminds us of how far we have come, and how much we take for granted in modern medicine. Tuberculosis is still very much with us. Just as we thought we had bested the bacterium, multi-drug-resistant TB has emerged. As Goetz reminds us, in the end, “The bacteria precede us. They outnumber us. And they will outlast us.” - BookPage

'A Truly Fascinating Volume'

Thank you to the Washington Independent Review of Books, A Lovely Bookshelf on the Wall and the Boston Globe for their reviews of The Remedy.

"…this book is my current obsession…A truly fascinating volume, a must-read for fans of medical history." – Washington Independent Review of Books

"This book made me thankful for germ theory. For basic hygiene. For vaccines! I couldn't wait to find out what happened next. I really got a feel for how relentless tuberculosis was, and how hopeless it seemed." – A Lovely Bookshelf on the Wall 

"The Remedy is a highly entertaining, interesting, and thought-provoking book, leaving the reader with a much deeper appreciation of how much safer — and in many ways, predictable — our lives are today thanks to the toil and efforts of men such as Robert Koch and his contemporaries." – Boston Globe
