This landmark book is a comprehensive, vividly written, and deeply scientifically grounded history of humanity's relationship with cancer, set against the backdrop of personal stories of the battle against the "king of all diseases."

Guiding the reader through changing perceptions of this disease across eras, treatment methods, milestones in understanding its mechanisms, and the conflicts of interest surrounding it, the author reveals the reasons for the limited success of its victory and outlines realistic paths for coexisting with it in the future. The age-old dream of a magic pill for cancer is confronted on the pages of this book by an enemy so insidious because, in its biological perfection, it too closely resembles distorted reflections of ourselves.
