AIDS Doctors: Voices from the Epidemic - An Oral History
Interesting. Very interesting, after "And the Band Played On." There was a lot of overlap between the two books in terms of the people interviewed and I got a broader feel of the people at the front line of the epidemic.
Except for the part where you don't get a feel for the real human costs of AIDS. There is no personalization of the patients. Instead it's all doctors all the time. They come off as these great martyrs, which is fine because there was no prestige in the early years of this disease and they took it up because they recognized its importance and the urgency to give treatment. But the faces of the victims get lost in the shuffle.
There's also the issue of the editors/writers capitalizing black (as in African-American). Very jarring, every time.
Solid work and I'm glad that this infomation was gathered for posterity. But I think I'll return to the nameless faceless masses for my next go 'round.
