The Gravest Show on Earth: America in the Age of AIDS Reviews
-
Brutal. This book was absolutely brutal. I'm reeling so hard I can't even do a proper review.
-
A neat exposé of the various misfires in the reaction to the AIDS epidemic. The usual suspects are at work. Advances in the give the urgency a dated feel.
