Jul 23, 2018neha_rainbows rated this title 5 out of 5 stars
A detailed and thorough exploration of the AIDS epidemic, I found this book a fascinating and engaging read. It delves into the biology and biochemistry involved in the identification of the virus and the development of functioning drugs, follows specific timelines for individuals involved in the movement, and captures the panic and urgency of those early years. It was astounding to read about those who would die weeks after diagnosis and those who survived for over a decade. I feel acquainted with every step of the movement and understand more fully how the fight isn't over today.
