Review of And the Band Played On (1993) by Garrett O — 29 Oct 2009
Truthful history of the AIDS epidemic. There are few heroes and plenty of bad actors. The CDC was torn between fighting the disease and the politics of denial. The Gay Community refused to close the Bath Houses--major spreaders of the disease.
The egos at the National Institute of Health were terrified they wouldn't win a Nobel Prize. A great study of how fear makes human beings stupid.
