"A riveting, galvanizing account." --The New Yorker

"So real to someone who witnessed it that I had to put this volume down and catch my breath." --Andrew Sullivan, The New York Times Book Review

"A remarkably written and highly relevant record of what angry, invested citizens can come together to achieve, and a moving and instructive testament to one community's refusal--in the face of ignorance, hatred and death--to be silenced or to give up." --Chicago Tribune

Reseña del editor:

A definitive history of the successful battle to halt the AIDS epidemic, here is the incredible story of the grassroots activists whose work turned HIV from a mostly fatal infection to a manageable disease. Almost universally ignored, these men and women 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. From the creator of, and inspired by, the seminal documentary of the same name, How to Survive a Plague is an unparalleled insider’s account of a pivotal moment in the history of American civil rights.
