And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic by Randy Shilts

5.0

Great book that explores and ties in research that Shilts did surrounding the discovery and immediate actions in the beginning of the AIDS epidemic. He really works to not vilify any of the people in the story, and you can really understand the frustration of all the different barriers at work that would have averted a serious epidemic. One can only hope that internalizing all of the perspectives will help prevent similar catastrophes.
