"An invaluable portrait of the evolution of international health in recent decades…We need more people like Peter Piot who will rise to the occasion with spirit and passion."

"[A] fascinating account of the complex behavioural responses that epidemics trigger among their human hosts."

"From laboratories to field epidemiology, boardrooms and political chambers, [No Time To Lose] charts an incredibly impactful career in science and the fine arts of diplomacy, communication and political engagement in difficult situations."

"Insightful."

"A riveting read."

"A timely and accessible memoir…enthralling reading…will appeal to budding young scientists."

"Piot helped assure that affordable drugs revolutionizing AIDS treatment would be available to the poorest victims. He leaves a legacy of change and hope in two worlds—medicine and politics—and an urgent reminder that their cooperation saves lives."
