How to Survive a Plague by David France is a social and scientific history of AIDS, and the grass-roots movement of activists, many of them facing their own life-or-death struggles, who grabbed the reins of scientific research to help develop the drugs that turned HIV from a mostly fatal infection to a manageable disease. Around the globe, the 15.8 million people taking anti-AIDS drugs today are alive thanks to their efforts.

Not since the publication of Randy Shilts''s now classic And the Band Played On in 1987 has a book sought to measure the AIDS plague in such brutally human, intimate, and soaring terms.

Weaving together the stories of dozens of individuals, this is an insider''s account of a pivotal moment in our history and one that changed the way that medical science is practised worldwide.

''This superbly written chronicle will stand as a towering work in its field'' - Sunday Times

''Inspiring, uplifting and necessary reading'' - Steve Silberman author of Neurotribes, Financial Times
