Book Reviews of And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic, 20th-Anniversary Edition
Book Review: much better than the film
Summary: 4 Stars
I enjoyed Shilt's book much more than I did the film. Although he can be criticised by professional historians from many angles, he does approach the issue of disease and American society from a perspective too long absent in medical history works. Shilts attempts to bring the patient into the history of AIDS continually. In fact, the best passages in the book are about the poeple who lived outside of the medical and political spotlights. Hollywood may have missed the point, but you can still read the book.
