littlegirl avatar reviewed on + 37 more book reviews


While so much has happened in the field of HIV/AIDS research since this book was written, And the Band Played On is still the quintessential telling of a hugely important public health issue in the U.S. By telling the personal stories of individuals who played key roles in the unfolding epidemic, Mr. Shilts weaves a compelling and gripping story that is accessible to anyone interested in the history of HIV/AIDS; you dont need to be a medical professional to understand this story.
