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.

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.
具体描述
读后感
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 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...
评分对一个免疫性疾病的患者来说，对渗透在字里行间的恐惧、无奈、坦然、勇气和尊严，没有一样不感同身受。 我自己病了，虽然难过却不曾哭泣，这么多年早已坦然面对。 但是我看不得别人病了，因为会更容易共情，书中的文字让我几度落泪，情难自已。 我更看不得社会病了，因为本可以...
评分2020-08-04 这是新冠疫情以来，第四本有关病毒之书，杂糅与艾滋病毒有关的同性恋、病毒、症状、新闻、政治、研究、心理等等内容。正如多方原因导致艾滋病大流行，本书没有明显焦点，某种意义上就是政治八卦。这种写法有点像 Jackson Pollock 那些抽象画，密密麻麻笔触，近乎背...
用户评价
通过本书 将知道人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）和获得性免疫综合征（AIDS）是如何在美国发现并扩散的 将看到影响艾滋病的大量事件及各种人物 尤其是政府部门、医疗及研究机构、同性恋组织、媒体中的个体 作者在刻画人类的懦弱、绝望、自私、贪婪的同时 也呈现了人类在面对死亡时的勇气、进取、无私和悲悯 最后以史为鉴打脸提醒：如果一种致命的新疫情蔓延 国家在那一刻没有任何理由推卸责任 而监督政府研究人员和公共卫生部门是否尽职的 本该是最富攻击性的媒体 大众的「看门狗」各中意味 自行体会
评分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
评分这个书名太好了
评分I can't help but think maybe the history is repeating itself. What‘s happened in the US feels so familiar. The Trump administration's response to covid-19 in the early days of the outbreak was almost parallel to that of Reagan's.
