#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 listeners 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.

Anthony Fauci had a superb education. His early years taught him how to write, and his autobiography is so easy to read. It envelopes the reader. I was able to follow all his achievements and understand what he was saying. And this book is filled with facts and information. It makes the public aware of the contributions Dr. Fauci made to the betterment of health in not only these United States but also in the world. It made me emotional too, that someone could spend his whole life unselfishly giving of himself to save so so many lives. Normally I read fiction, but this was one of those exceptions I made because I was reading about one of my heroes. What a great man he is. It is a magnificent and touching book. I am recommending it to all my friends.

A very detailed account of many decades of public service from selfless Physician who has contributed to public health in America and around the world saving millions of lives.
Strong ethics and principles from childhood in Italian section of Brooklyn New York and Jesuit principles.
A must read for anyone especially in Health fields. A wonderful book.

Dr Fauci’s “On Call,:is a brilliant examination of his decades of work fighting infectious diseases.
It is exciting, a real life mystery story, and a bit depressing.
I was dragged back through the years of AIDS, then into the very lonely, fearsome, days of COVID. And, doubly sad, he concludes it will never go away.
As I write, covid is summer-spiking in the US where the mass of delusional people pretend it is gone, howling and screaming shoulder to shoulder at baseball games which I can only attend on TV. Add the international super-spreader Olympics.
There are problems.
Fauci himself is infected–with Catholicism and the Empire. He’s a devout Catholic (has he not seen “Spotlight?” or studied at least, from the Inquisition to the Spanish Requirement or the current pretenders with funny hats extorting money on the threat of doom in hell?).
That superstition probably leads to the guilt he feels about the grotesque inequities in medical care inside and outside the US. But, living in a medical bubble, he has no grasp of the Whole of society-capital and empire.
That leads him to make silly statements like “Iraqis don’t understand democracy” (paraphrasing his uncritical take on the analysis of the half-wit Paul Bremer who dissolved the Iraqi military against the age old advice of Sun Tzu).
Or to praise the monopolist Bill Gates.
Or to express warm approval of “my good friend,” Susan Rice, G. H. and G.W. Bush, Samantha Power, Dick Cheney, Scooter Libby (remember Valerie Plame) Condoleeza Rice (oil tanker named for her) lying Colin Powell who marched the US into a counterfeit war, and Bill Clinton—each a mass murder for the empire, not only killing people but forcing hundreds of thousands from the Middle East to wander virtually homeless in Europe.
Fauci fought death within his bubble, but seems to ignore imperial murder outside it.
Jared Kushner is “not evil”?
It is probably unfair to call him a huckster for imperialism because it is clear that he actually believes his patriotic fantasies
Fauci is a bit taken with himself. He loves to list his honors and medals, but they were hard-earned at considerable risk to himself and family—who he clearly loves dearly.
Science and religion are incompatible, an irresolvable contradiction. Since Fauci has so much influence, somebody has to say: People make gods; gods don’t make People.
Get the book. Criticism aside, it is a great read of science and society.

I so admire Dr. Fauchi. He has saved so many lives. So many people died unnecessarily during covid because politicians were telling us not to be vaccinated and don’t wear masks. I trust science. Thankfully, fully vaccinated and mask wearing I have never had covid. I also always get a flu shot and haven’t had the flu for 10 years. I don’t disparage people who disagree with me. this is just my opinion.

I gave this book to my dad, also a doctor of 50 years, who loved this book. He says Dr Fauci has lived a meaningful, interesting life with lots of gems to learn about as a reader, definitely recommended as a book.

A fascinating account of all things Dr Fauci. In his own words, he takes you through all the key milestones of his personal life and an incredible professional career.
Thank youfor everything you have done in your long and celebrated career. You have saved millions of lives.

An extraordinary human being who has lived up to his potential. This was a great read. It’s inspiring and entertaining. As others have said, it will make you crave Italian food. At the very least, prepare for your binge read with a good bottle of wine at hand. It’s well written and does a thorough job of relating how he became the public figure we are so familiar with and to whom the world owes so much.
The title is well chosen. He chose to be on call for his entire working life. He seems not to have turned down many requests for his time and talent. The book includes peeks into his complicated life. I found the bedside care episodes to be more dramatic and moving than the parts which document his movement into administrative and governmental positions. The Covid and Trump years are really hard to read about without being sickened.
Some of the things that struck me –having a really robust K-12 education system is essential. We won’t be producing the next generation of Dr. Fauci’s if we don’t make massive and immediate investments in our education system.
I’m also struck by how he seems to have a lifelong habit of establishing and maintaining close personal and workplace friendships. Liking people, seeing them as potential allies rather than as competitors, seems to be characteristic of many people whose contributions are so impactful that they become public figures.
The importance of selecting a career that you truly love and which provides the opportunities for long term personal growth and development is essential for a really productive and satisfying life.
Being reminded of the various challenges America has faced was valuable. Seeing how a few really competent people were repeatedly recruited to assist in addressing these challenges makes you understand how fragile the whole system is. Even if we could use the model that produced Dr Fauci, how do we scale up to create the number of people of his caliber that a country of our size needs?
Like the best biographies and memoirs, this one teaches us both about the unique individual and about the society more broadly. It is thought provoking, humbling, entertaining, disheartening and worrying in pretty equal measures. It will speak to people embarking on their careers, raising children, deciding how to prioritize friendship, family, work demands, deciding who and what to vote for – in other words – all of us who read to grow. Getting the book out there to all of us should be considered another one of Dr Fauci’s great gifts to us. Thank you Doc, for all of your service.

A detailed easy to read history of public Health in the late 20th and early 21st century . Very well written by an excellent communicator of scientific progress. Dr Fauci is an excellent example of a hero and public servant. This book should be in the reading list of every medical school training future physicians. Very Highly recommended!!!!
