This book couldn’t have been published at a better time given the state of the world. It is critically improvements more people read it and gain perspective on what is happening and how to fight for science.

This is a great book. It was highly informative and, at the same time, chilling, as we are seeing in real-time the effects of science under siege. The book is well-paced and written in a conversational tone. Hotez and Mann pull no punches; their message is direct and blunt. And they make suggestions for action, many of which they are already doing and leading by example. This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of science in America and elsewhere. Thank you to Netgalley and PublicAffairs for the advance reader copy.
