Let the Record Show: A Political History of ACT UP New York, 1987-1993 by Sarah Schulman

4.0

This was so good. It was a big and ambitious project that took two decades to complete, and it was messy, painful, and genuinely awe-inspiring. While I felt it was hard at times to follow (that being said, I listened to the audiobook version which might have been a factor,) I ultimately enjoyed how this was structured. There's an impressive level of detail about how ACT UP's many, many members (not just white gays) organized and won against various injustices, but the book just as equally humanizes those who died from the AIDS crisis.
