520    A definitive history of the successful battle to halt the

520    "From the creator of and inspired by the seminal 
       documentary of the same name--an Oscar nominee--the 
       definitive history of the successful battle to halt the 
       AIDS epidemic, and the powerful, heroic stories of the gay
       activists who refused to die without a fight. Intimately 
       reported, this is the story of the men and women who, 
       watching their friends and lovers fall, ignored by public 
       officials, religious leaders, and the nation at large, and
       confronted with shame and hatred, chose to fight for their
       right to live. We witness the founding of ACT UP and TAG 
       (Treatment Action Group), the rise of an underground drug 
       market in opposition to the prohibitively expensive (and 
       sometimes toxic) AZT, and the gradual movement toward a 
       lifesaving medical breakthrough. With his unparalleled 
       access to this community David France illuminates the 
       lives of extraordinary characters, including the closeted 
       Wall Street trader-turned-activist; the high school 
       dropout who found purpose battling pharmaceutical giants 
       in New York; the South African physician who helped 
       establish the first officially recognized buyers' club at 
       the height of the epidemic; and the public relations 
       executive fighting to save his own life for the sake of 
       his young daughter. Expansive yet richly detailed, this is
       an insider's account of a pivotal moment in the history of
       American civil rights"--|cProvided by publisher.
