How to survive a plague : the inside story of how citizens and science tamed AIDS / by David France. by France, David, 1959- Alfred A. Knopf, 2016. Call #: 362.1969792 F815h Subjects AIDS activists -- United States -- Biography.   AIDS (Disease) -- Patients -- United States.   AIDS (Disease) -- Research.   AIDS (Disease) -- Political aspects.   HIV-positive persons -- New York (State) -- New York. ISBN:  9780771047510 (hc.) Edition:  First edition. Description:  640 pages, [16] pages of plates : ill. ; 24 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "From the creator of and inspired by the seminal documentary of the same name - the definitive history of the successful battle to halt the AIDS epidemic, and the powerful, heroic stories of the gay activists who refused to die without a fight. The men and women who, watching their friends and lovers fall, ignored by public officials, religious leaders, and the nation at large, and confronted with shame and hatred, chose to fight for their right to live. We witness the founding of ACT UP and TAG (Treatment Action Group), the rise of an underground drug market in opposition to the prohibitively expensive (and sometimes toxic) AZT, and the gradual movement toward a lifesaving medical breakthrough. With his unparalleled access to this community David France illuminates the lives of extraordinary characters, including the closeted Wall Street trader-turned-activist; the high school dropout who found purpose battling pharmaceutical giants in New York; the South African physician who helped establish the first officially recognized buyers' club at the height of the epidemic; and the public relations executive fighting to save his own life for the sake of his young daughter. An insider's account of a pivotal moment in the history of American civil rights. David France is the author of Our Fathers, a book about the Catholic Church's sexual abuse scandal. His documentary film, How to Survive a Plague, was an Oscar finalist and won two Emmys."--Provided by publisher.
