How to Survive a Plague - by David France (Paperback)

This book is a powerful and moving account of the successful battle to halt the AIDS epidemic, told through the stories of the brave and heroic activists who refused to give up in the face of indifference and hostility.

With unparalleled access to the community, David France illuminates the lives of extraordinary characters, including a closeted Wall Street trader-turned-activist, a high school dropout who fought pharmaceutical giants in New York, and a South African physician who helped establish the first officially recognized buyers' club.

The book is an insider's account of a pivotal moment in American civil rights history, and it is a testament to the power of grassroots activism in turning HIV from a mostly fatal infection to a manageable disease.
