Review:
'This brave and moving book forces us to open our eyes to the full extent of the devastation that AIDS is causing in Africa. Through the words of AIDS orphans and those struggling to cope with the flood of unwanted children, Children of AIDS serves as a wake-up call for the international community.' --Susan Sarandon 'An important and timely book on a devastating crisis.' ---Fergal Keane 'Guest compresses her research on this enormously explosive crisis into a short and tightly structured book ... Her book will help to give a fuller understanding of the orphan crisis.' --The Sunday Independent, South Africa 'The author, a perceptive analyst of the ongoing AIDS tragedy, presents case studies of organized responses in three countries hit hard by the epidemic: Uganda, Zambia and South Africa. By exploring the social reality behind the numbing statistics, she makes possible more informed speculation about the economic, social and psychological impact of the disease in coming decades.' --Foreign Affairs
