The Forgotten Plague
by Frank Ryan, M.D.
This book took me ages to get through. I can't really explain why since it is a well-written look at the lives and research of the scientists and doctors that pioneered the advances against tuberculosis. The best reason I can give is that the binding is a little tight and it hurt my hands to hold it open (already suffering from tendonitis from all the typing and clicking I do for work).
If you are interested in the fight against germs and want to go a little farther back in time, I do highly recommend Microbe Hunters by Paul de Kruif.
