An international bestseller and winner of the Stonewall Book Award,
which inspired an award-winning film 'A heroic work of journalism
on what must rank as one of the foremost catastrophes of modern
history.' The New York Times 'Stunning ... An impressively
researched and richly detailed narrative.' TIME Randy Shilts was
the first openly gay journalist dealing with gay issues for the San
Francisco Chronicle. In 1981, the year when AIDS came to
international attention, he quickly devoted himself to reporting on
the developing epidemic, one which devastated his community and
eventually took his life as well. Shilts interviewed over 1,000
people, weaving together extensive research in the form of personal
stories and political reportage. He was perfectly placed to
understand the cultural, medical and political impact of the
disease on the gay community and United States society as a whole.
And the Band Played On exposes why AIDS was allowed to spread while
the medical and political authorities ignored and even denied the
threat. This book remains one of the great works of contemporary
journalism and provides the foundation for continuing debates over
governmental failure in handling lethal epidemics.
