AIDS Doctors: Voices from the epidemic

This book offers a fresh perspective on the early AIDS crisis, that of the doctors. From some doctors the early days of AIDS were exciting, like trying to beat a new foe. Others saw their entire practices fall apart as all of the patients died. The book moves through the different phases of the AIDS epidemic from the early days where no one knew anything and understood even less, to the days of devastating drug trials, and to a time where patients lived longer and outlook was less grim. The book functions as an oral history where the authors spent a great amount of time tracking down big players in the early days and more quiet doctors on the sidelines. A fascinating read on the topic.
