About This Book

A history of the AIDS crisis in the United States, told through the activists of ACT UP and the Treatment Action Group who, facing the deaths of themselves and their friends and a government that would not act, taught themselves the science and forced the development of the drugs that turned HIV from a death sentence into a manageable illness.
