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.

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 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...

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.
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。
评分这个书名太好了
评分这本大概是对艾滋的历史最全面深入的解剖了。也只有Randy SHILTS能写出这样的作品—Access和Empathy!如果我是editor,我唯一的建议是600页的内容其实是可以再浓缩的。(有Hiroshima做先例,任何non-fiction都应该有被浓缩在两百页以内依然是masterpiece的自信。)
