And the Band Played on: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic de Randy Shilts

And the Band Played on: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic

Autor Randy Shilts
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 oct 2007

Upon it's first publication twenty years ago, "And The Band Played" on was quickly recognized as a masterpiece of investigatve reporting. An international bestseller, a nominee for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and made into a critically acclaimed movie, Shilts' expose revealed why AIDS was allowed to spread unchecked during the early 80's while the most trusted institutions ignored or denied the threat. One of the few true modern classics, it changed and framed how AIDS was discussed in the following years. Now republished in a special 20th Anniversary edition, "And the Band Played On" remains one of the essential books of our time.
