And The Band Played On: Politics, People, And The AIDS Epidemic
Seller: Book Haven, Wellington, WLG, New Zealand
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Fair. A brilliant expose of the federal government putting budget ahead of the nation's welfare, health authorities placing political expediency before public health, and scientists more concerned with international prestige than with saving lives. On rare occasions a book comes along that not only reports on an important issue of the times, but also becomes the foundation for all the ongoing debate on the subject. And the Band Played On has had that kind of impact on shaping America's response to the AIDS epidemic. The story told here forces us to rethink many of our common assumptions about how the society we live in works and doesn't work. Heavy; Large. Well read. Cover is worn with small creases, dogearing and fraying at edges. Pages tanned. Spine has wrinkled. Binding appears strong. Book is in readable condition. 630 pages. Seller Inventory # 1585390
