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

challenging dark emotional informative reflective sad tense slow-paced

4.5

This is a heartbreaking book. It really highlights the mishandling of the AIDS pandemic by the US government. This is a book full of US politics, which may or may not be what you are looking for. 

The one gripe I have is that it is a heavy and slow book that can get kind of dull/hard to read at times. I would recommend having a (or two or three) lighthearted read going on at the same time.
