And the Band Played On takes us through the first five years of unfolding epidemic and the responses - confusion and fear; denial and indifference, courage and determination. It is at once a history and a passionate indictment - The New York Times Book Review Written after years of extensive research by the only American journalist to cover the epidemic full-time, And the Band Played On is a masterpiece of reportage whose revelations expose the soul of America. A portrait of a disease and of a society, it is also a tragic record of mismanaged institutions and scientific vendettas, of sexual politics and hideous personal suffering. The bitter truth was that AIDS did not just happen to America - it was allowed to happen, writes Randy Shilts. His epic book tells us why. This colossal book chronicles, month by month, the failings of most of these people, and the heroic efforts of the very few who were far-sighted enough to put their careers on the line because of what they saw happening... The richest, most powerful, most scientifically advanced nations in the world have been tried, tested and found grievously wanting... A modern Journal of the Plague Year - Guardian A spellbinding book of viral terrorism and a textbook on how institutions work, or fail to work - San Francisco Examiner It s about politics, people and the AIDS epidemic. It s about the history of an epidemic which rages still, chock full of bright hopes, terrible losses and broken dreams. The author, never one to mince words or to avoid controversy, states the truth bluntly - San Francisco Sentinel
