Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

In the first major book on AIDS, San Francisco Chronicle reporter Randy Shilts examines the making of an epidemic. Shilts researched and reported the book exhaustively, chronicling almost day-by-day the first five years of AIDS. His work is critical of the medical and scientific communities' initial response and particularly harsh on the Reagan Administration, who he claims cut funding, ignored calls for action and deliberately misled Congress. Shilts doesn't stop there, wondering why more people in the gay community, the mass media and the country at large didn't stand up in anger more quickly. The AIDS pandemic is one of the most striking developments of the late 20th century and this is the definitive story of its beginnings.

From School Library Journal

YA Investigative journalist Shilts em ploys a case study approach to expose the alarms, disregard, and misinforma tion about AIDS that has been promoted by the government, gay and straight or ganizations, news agencies, and medical researchers. He indicts the political agendas of government officials, ego- driven scientists, and profit-conscious blood bank executives, all of whom im peded early AIDS research. In addition, he gives a fascinating account of the detective work needed in discovering new diseases. Although focusing his re ports on San Francisco and New York's gay communities and research centers in Atlanta and the Washington, D.C. area, Shilts dramatically explores the interna tional problem of AIDS. Students will use the index for assigned papers, but it is the volume of information and the vi gnettes about real individuals that make compelling cover-to-cover reading.
