I am furious with the way the Reagan administration FAILED to handle a public health crisis. I hope we, as a nation, have learned our lesson about ignoring problems simply because we have the belief that it only effects "others". AIDS is a human issue.

This was a fascinating and heartbreaking read.

Fascinating and educational for those of us who were not alive at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic.

Heartbreaking, infuriating, should be required reading so we may never repeat this history again. Also, Ronald Reagan rot in hell!

Masterpiece, essential reading, a behemoth of a book that never let me lose interest or stop. As an infectious diseases doctor who treats HIV positive individuals every day, it's amazing how far we've come but how much of these same struggles still ring true today in the face of a new pandemic. Read this now!
