註釋
Covers the AIDS epidemic from all angles and across the world. Weaves together science, politics, and culture, noting the excesses of the more radical edges of the ACT UP movement as well as the conservative religious leaders who thought AIDS victims deserved what they got. For gay Americans, it has been the story of the past generation, redefining the community and its sexuality. For the Third World, AIDS has created devastation, toppling economies, social structures, and whole villages and regions. And AIDS is expanding quickly into India, Russia, China, and elsewhere, while still raging in sub-Saharan Africa. There is much drama and heroism here. ¿Allows us to relive the short but tumultuous history of a modern scourge.¿ Photos.
