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.
值得一看 除了实在是很长 除了依照时间顺序详尽揭露了艾滋病前期发展的历史 还传达出了太多很有意思的和值得思考的现象 | 另外Robert Gallo真的是在一群killers中最贱的人了

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.

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。
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 评分我……哇的哭出来,太难受了,看完我一天没看书。 其实我刚开始看的时候,就知道全球艾滋病患者目前已经超过七千万了。但那是统计数据,和真正看到这件事情怎么发生,完全不一样。 他们是比尔,盖瑞,尼克,保罗,他们是和我们一样有名字的人。我看着他们努力,但我知道,他们...
评分这是一本需要二刷三刷乃至n刷的书,虽然如此,初次看完以后仍然有很多感触。 艾滋病是一种病毒引起的传染性疾病。然而在美国,它不被看作单纯的一种疾病。因为要求性解放乃至狂欢的生活方式,同性恋群体成为这一疾病的高发人群。在此,这种疾病便与同性恋产生了密切的联系,因...
