‘If there is any “must read” book about COVID-19, this is, without a doubt, the one.’
Peter Jay Hotez, MD, PhD, National School of Tropical Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine


‘Drawing on his brilliant reporting from the front lines of the fight against COVID, Gupta has produced a book filled with hope and optimism that draws on the lessons of the recent past to give people a grounded sense of how to navigate the future.’

Walter Isaacson, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Code Breaker

Frontline Covid-19 health journalist, Dr. Sanjay Gupta has had insider access to the unfolding pandemic, including exclusive conversations with the world’s top public health experts and behind-the-scenes scientists racing to find treatments and cures. And now he’s sharing what he’s learned in a book that will answer not only all our questions about what happened, but also about how our world will change in the years ahead, even once we’re back to ‘normal’.

As the doctor who’s been guiding us through the crisis with compassion, clarity, and well-earned wisdom, he gives you the unvarnished story behind the pandemic, including insights about the novel virus’s behavior, and offers practical tools to ready ourselves for what lies ahead.

He answers critical questions: Can we stamp out the virus for good (and if not, how do we live with it)? Should we put our parents in a nursing home? How do you decide when it’s safe to go to a public pool or schedule elective surgery? What should Covid survivors know about protecting their future health? What if you become a long-hauler with chronic health challenges stemming?

World War C will give you hope for the future along with real information that leaves you more resilient and secure.

‘Part murder mystery, part practical how-to-survive guide, Dr Sanjay Gupta’s World War C is a tour de force. In this riveting book, Sanjay divulges, as few others can, what you didn’t hear about in the news during the pandemic, and equips us with the everyday tools to stay safe and chase life like never before.’
Andy Slavitt, former senior advisor of COVID-19 response, Biden White House

‘With his characteristic curiosity, compassion, and humility, combined with unparalleled talent as a master-storyteller, Dr Gupta presents the defining history of the greatest public health catastrophe of our lifetimes. This is a must-read for how we can emerge stronger as individuals and as a society.’

Leana Wen, Washington Post contributing columnist, former Baltimore health commissioner and author of Lifelines

A mask, a bar of soap, some water, six feet of distance, and this remarkable book will help you to survive the next pandemic we are destined to face - and better understand the one we just lived through. While there's no cure for COVID, World War C will inoculate you from the misinformation and the mistakes that have turned our world upside down.
Scott Z. Burns, screenwriter, Contagion
Wisdom shared by Dr Sanjay Gupta enabled me to protect my family over the last eighteen months. Now this book will help everyone feel confident they have the resources and frame of mind to tackle whatever comes next.
