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.

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...

评分很难说是一种怎样复杂的情感,这本书很多片段在2020年这个肺炎流行的春节假日里有着类似的对照,仿佛相似剧情的又一次上演。我打开朋友圈或者微博都是铺天盖地的信息,或真或假,令我窒息又让大多数人恐慌和愤怒。 回到这本书,我们该谴责的是什么呢?同性恋放荡的...
评分 评分看这本书,最重要的是抓住几条主线。 1.美国疾控中心(唐纳德·弗朗西斯)vs美国国家癌症研究所(罗伯特·加罗)vs法国巴斯德研究所(蒙塔尼耶和彻尔曼) 这条主线可以看出美法之间关于发现并分离艾滋病毒的争端,以加罗为首的人近乎蛮横地企图垄断这个病毒的发现和研究,这招...

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.
20多年前读过的,当时在一家艾滋病研究中心工作。而今物是人非了......
评分值得一看 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。
