Aids by Norman Fowler
A powerful account of HIV and AIDS around the world, and what should be done about it.
'An immensely important and readable bookThere is no political voice in Britain who speaks on the subject with such authority.' Stephen Fry '[a] powerful book]' Peter Tatchell, Evening Standard 'It is a pacey read and its insistence that tolerance and harm reduction are the only way forward - is to be warmly commended.' The Independent "Fowler's message of tolerance and pragmatism, and his continued commitment to the field, is creditable in a world that still has a long way to go in fighting prejudice, and as a result in ending the scourge of HIV." FT "It is precisely this harnessing of historical analysis to pressing contemporary issues which makes this such a timely and instructive read - the book ends with a series of ten clearly defined proposals which I can only recommend to your attention - perhaps most impressive of all is his stirring and emotional endpiece concerning his own journey of discovery."
