Description:

Upon it's first publication twenty years ago,Andnbsp;The Band Playedon was quickly recognized as anbsp;masterpiece of investigatve reporting. An international bestseller, a nominee for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and made into a critically acclaimed movie, Shilts' expose revealed why AIDS was allowed to spread unchecked during the early 80's while the most trusted institutions ignored or denied the threat.nbsp;nbsp;One of the fewnbsp;true modern classics, it changed and framed how AIDS was discussed in the following years. Now republished in a special 20th Anniversary edition,And the Band Played Onremains one of the essential books of our time.
