Review
“Dr. Foege’s book . . . remind[s] us how fragile life looks.”
(New York Times 2011-08-16)“Bounces the reader along with him in his jeep, on motorbikes over rugged terrain and on bustling trains. . . . (And) shows what can be accomplished when governments and thousands of health workers focus on a single objective. “
(Wall Street Journal 2011-06-22)“[Foege] writes a mixture of memoir, dry public health guide and riveting tale of an all-consuming mission.”
(Tiffany O'Callaghan New Scientist 2011-06-04)“A readable and thorough account by a key player in this outstanding victory for public health.”
(Library Journal 2011-07-21)“A reminder of the importance of preventive medicine.”
(Jama 2012-03-14)“A great, quick, and intensely personal read about the inside story of Foege's revolutionary idea and powerful actions. . . . Foege was wise before his time.”
(Medpage Today 2012-06-18)“Demonstrate[s] the enormous benefit that can accrue to mankind when a determined and ambitious band of individuals come together.”
(The Lancet 2011-09-13)“Gives an intimate sense of what it is like to work on the ground in some of the world's most impoverished countries -- and tells what it is like to contribute to programs that really do change the world.”
(Scienceblogs.com/The Guardian 2011-05-22)“Inspiring. . . . A fascinating human interest account that is expertly merged with scientific facts.”
(Pascal James Imperato Jrnl Of Community Health 2011-09-15)“A fascinating account”
(The Bulletin Of The Royal College Of Pathologists 2012-03-27) From the Inside Flap
“Bill Foege takes us inside the world's greatest public health triumph: the eradication of smallpox. It's a story of true determination, passion and courage. The story of smallpox should encourage all of us to continue the critical work of worldwide disease eradication.”--Bill Gates, Co-Chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
“Bill Foege is one of the public health giants of our times. He was responsible for the design of the campaign that eradicated smallpox—the most important global health achievement in history and possibly the greatest feat in any field of international cooperation. His insights into the nature of this major event will undoubtedly help to meet the global health challenges of the 21st century.”—Julio Frenk, M.D, PhD, Dean, Harvard School of Public Health
“The eradication of a disease has long been the holy grail of global health and Bill Foege found it: more than any other person, he was responsible for the eradication of smallpox from the face of the earth. This is a story told by a remarkably humble man, about the extraordinary coalition that he helped to build, and the most impressive global health accomplishment the world has ever seen.”—Mark Rosenberg, author of Real Collaboration: What It Takes for Global Health to Succeed
“I am thrilled that Bill Foege, one of the great heroes of the smallpox eradication campaign, has written this important book. It tells a beautiful human story of an incredible public health triumph, and is full of lessons that could be applied to many of the global challenges we face today.”—Helene D. Gayle MD, President and CEO, CARE USA
“Bill Foege’s House on Fire is the first-hand account of how a revised strategy to eradicate smallpox was tested, validated, and applied. Without the global adoption of this new surveillance strategy, the final deathblow to this longtime global menace might never have been dealt.”—Adetokunbo O. Lucas, MD, DSc, author of It Was The Best of Times: From Local to Global Health
“Smallpox is the most devastating disease the world has known, as it destroyed lives and shaped history over the centuries. House on Fire provides a day-to-day account by my friend Dr. Bill Foege of the battle required to defeat this wily and diabolic virus."--President Jimmy Carter
