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

Thanks for posting the links! I also have to recommend the book it was based on "And the band played on." I read it while in high school, and it is one of those books that stays with you. I honestly felt like it influenced my life and how I view public health. It has a lot of different aspects to it, and I highly recommend reading it.

And the Band Played On is another really good one about the crisis as well as the political games that were being played while people died.

I'm not a gay man, but read And The Band Played On. It gives a really good account of the early days of the AIDS epidemic.

Another great book is And The Band Played On. It tells the story of a group of doctors who, with their funding cut by the government, defy the odds to fight this deadly disease. It also tells of the squabbling between French and American scientists over who got credit for discovering the disease, as well as prototypical AIDS cases that occurred before the disease spread in the late '70s and early '80s.
