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 readers 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.

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.
I was especially interested in reading about his time working to protect the public from both HIV/AIDs and Covid, two terrible infectious diseases that affected many friends and made me fearful for family. His writing about his personal life is entertaining and I found the entire book fascinating, even though it is in certain places heavy with the science of statistical trials, microbiology and immunology which I did slightly slide through, but he is a man of science, and I am sure other students of public health, medicine and science will find it more important and enlightening than I did.
This is an autobiography of a truly dedicated, compassionate, and brilliant public servant that is worth reading. Thank you for your service, Dr. Fauci.
