“This multiauthored book covers a wide array of aspects of infection with hepatitis C, from its natural history to the mechanisms of pathogenicity and the mechanisms of antiviral therapy. … The book is written for a broad audience of scientists, clinicians, and others. Scientists and researchers, as well as trainees with a special interest in hepatitis C, will be best served by this book. … This book does a very nice job of explaining the natural history of hepatitis C.” (Cezarina Mindru, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2017)
