From author David France comes the definitive history of the successful battle to halt the AIDS epidemic—an insider’s perspective account of a pivotal moment in the history of American civil rights. Read the incredible story of the grassroots activists whose work turned HIV from a mostly fatal infection to a manageable disease. Almost universally ignored, these activists learned to become their own researchers, lobbyists, and drug smugglers; established their own newspapers and research journals; and went on to force reform in the nation’s disease-fighting agencies. — This nonfiction paperback book is in excellent like new condition.
