1. How To Survive A Plague
The Inside Story of How Citizens and Science Tamed AIDS
The book provides a detailed and poignant account of the early years of the AIDS epidemic, focusing on the grassroots activism and scientific breakthroughs that transformed the fight against the disease. It chronicles the efforts of activists, many of whom were HIV-positive themselves, as they challenged government inaction and pharmaceutical companies to accelerate research and access to life-saving treatments. Through personal stories and historical context, the narrative captures the desperation, resilience, and eventual triumph of a community that refused to be silenced or ignored.
