520 When Peter Piot was in medical school, a professor warned,
"There's no future in infectious diseases. They've all
been solved." Fortunately, Piot ignored him, and the
result has been an exceptional, adventure-filled career.
In the 1970s, as a young man, Piot was sent to Central
Africa as part of a team tasked with identifying a grisly
new virus. Crossing into the quarantine zone on the most
dangerous missions, he studied local customs to determine
how this disease--the Ebola virus--was spreading. Later,
Piot found himself in the field again when another
mysterious epidemic broke out: AIDS. He traveled
throughout Africa, leading the first international AIDS
initiatives there. Then, as founder and director of UNAIDS,
he negotiated policies with leaders from Fidel Castro to
Thabo Mbeki and helped turn the tide of the epidemic.
Candid and engrossing, No Time to Lose captures the
urgency and excitement of being on the front lines in the
fight against today's deadliest diseases.
