By the time Rock Hudson's death in 1985 alerted all America to the danger of the AIDS epidemic, the disease had spread across the nation, killing thousands of people and emerging as the greatest health crisis of the 20th century. America faced a troubling question: What happened? How was this epidemic allowed to spread so far before it was taken seriously? In answering these questions, Shilts weaves the disparate threads into a coherent story, pinning down every evasion and contradiction at the highest levels of the medical, political, and media establishments.
Shilts shows that the epidemic spread wildly because the federal government put budget ahead of the nation's welfare; health authorities placed political expediency before the public health, and scientists were often more concerned with international prestige than saving lives. Against this backdrop, Shilts tells the heroic stories of individuals in science and politics, public health and the gay community, who struggled to alert the nation to the enormity of the danger it faced. And the Band Played On is both a tribute to these heroic people and a stinging indictment of the institutions that failed the nation so badly.
RANDY SHILTS was one of the first journalists to recognize AIDS as an important national issue and, in the early 1980s, he began to report on AIDS full time for the San Francisco Chronicle, making him the only journalist to do so. He was also the author of The Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk and Conduct Unbecoming: Gay and Lesbians in the U.S. Military. Shilts died of AIDS-related complications in early 1994.
美利坚也并没有那么美好,但是也要看到美利坚的厉害之处,那些在逆境中坚持研究的学者值得尊敬,官僚们的表现则令人厌恶。
评分大概是对美国80年代关于艾滋病发现和科研历史最详尽的一本书了,作者详实的访谈让人感动。难以想象最初为AIDS挣扎的人都经历了什么,在最黑暗的地方也有光,要将火炬传递下去。

评分这个书名太好了
评分艾滋恐怕是所有疾病中与政治最密切挂钩的了,如果少数群体能得到更多的同理心、接受度和关注度,它本不会成为像现在这样令人生畏的杀手,与其说艾滋是上帝对同性恋的惩罚,不如说是上帝对大多数人冷漠麻木的惩罚……这本真的写得很好了,我还说怎么写得这么客观和有同理心,最后访谈里说是openly gay reporter……那没事儿了
《世纪的哭泣》原著题目是“And the Band Played On”,让人联想到杜牧的诗句:商女不知亡国恨,隔江犹唱后庭花。书问世以后,许多人问兰迪·希尔兹为何取此书名,他解释道,“照常营业”的时髦说法而已——其实这是一句歌词,在美国乐队“The Temptation”1970年的作品“Ball ...
评分这本书的英文名是 and the brand play on,其实讲的意境与“商女不知亡国恨,隔江犹唱后庭花”有很大的相似之处。核心就是艾滋病的传播完全是人祸。各方人物为捍卫自己的权利做出的选择,让科研没有经费,健康宣传不到位,传染源不禁止。艾滋病白白传播5年后才幡然醒悟,然而覆...

评分这本书的作者兰迪·希尔茨是1980年代初第一批意识到艾滋病问题的美国记者之一。作者以广泛而全面的新闻调查,讲了一个故事: 艾滋病,为什么会在美国流行? 为什么在这场灾难中,时间就是生命? 故事是以时间为脉络呈现给大家的,在阅读过程中,你将知道人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV...
评分「有些人已经说过,罗纳德·里根在历史书上只有一件事被人铭记:他是任由艾滋病在美国蔓延人;是在行动迫在眉睫时,将政治置于美国人民的健康之上的国家元首。」 如果最开始发现的时候就得到重视,得到公众的关注和理解,这可能可以改变一些。然而,疾控中心只把这些未确定的...
