This is an accessible book on the most terrible catastrophe of
modern times. This book is aimed initially at students who want to
study the history of the Aids epidemic but who currently have no
starting point from which to enter the vast and often technical
literature. Other readers will also find it a helpful introduction
to a subject of immense contemporary importance. This book explains
the origins and nature of the virus and the unique epidemic it has
caused: the progress of the epidemic across the African continent;
thecircumstances that have made its impact so severe; the responses
of governments, international bodies and NGOs; the moral and
political controversies; the effect on households, social systems
and economics; the care of the sick and the search for remedies and
vaccines; and the impact of antiretroviral treatments. This book
uses medical, anthropological and eye-witness sources but assumes
no prior knowledge. Professor Iliffe has forty years experience of
teaching in Africa and Britain. His books on modern African history
are renowned. North America: Ohio U Press; South Africa: Double
