Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-FictionWinner of The
Green Carnation Prize for LGBTQ literature Winner of the Lambda
Literary Award for LGBT non-fictionShortlisted for the Wellcome
Book Prize 2017'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 How to Survive a Plague by David France is the
riveting, powerful and profoundly moving story of the AIDS epidemic
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.
