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.
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.
值得一看 除瞭實在是很長 除瞭依照時間順序詳盡揭露瞭艾滋病前期發展的曆史 還傳達齣瞭太多很有意思的和值得思考的現象 | 另外Robert Gallo真的是在一群killers中最賤的人瞭
評分大概是對美國80年代關於艾滋病發現和科研曆史最詳盡的一本書瞭,作者詳實的訪談讓人感動。難以想象最初為AIDS掙紮的人都經曆瞭什麼,在最黑暗的地方也有光,要將火炬傳遞下去。

評分艾滋恐怕是所有疾病中與政治最密切掛鈎的瞭,如果少數群體能得到更多的同理心、接受度和關注度,它本不會成為像現在這樣令人生畏的殺手,與其說艾滋是上帝對同性戀的懲罰,不如說是上帝對大多數人冷漠麻木的懲罰……這本真的寫得很好瞭,我還說怎麼寫得這麼客觀和有同理心,最後訪談裏說是openly gay reporter……那沒事兒瞭
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...
評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...
評分这本书期待已久了,终于在去年12月份的时候出版,译文纪实系列的作品从大多从亲历者或者记者的角度出发,通过自己的经历,或大量的采访和调研,为读者还原故事的全景。这种体裁是很有价值的,它帮助我们站在更高的视角上全面观察艾滋病疫情鲜为人知的背后故事。 译文纪实关于传...
