And the Band Played On pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載2025
RANDY SHILTS was one of the first journalists to recognize AIDS as an important national issue and, in the early 1980s, he began to report on AIDS full time for the San Francisco Chronicle, making him the only journalist to do so. He was also the author of The Mayor of Castro Street: The Life and Times of Harvey Milk and Conduct Unbecoming: Gay and Lesbians in the U.S. Military. Shilts died of AIDS-related complications in early 1994.

By the time Rock Hudson's death in 1985 alerted all America to the danger of the AIDS epidemic, the disease had spread across the nation, killing thousands of people and emerging as the greatest health crisis of the 20th century. America faced a troubling question: What happened? How was this epidemic allowed to spread so far before it was taken seriously? In answering these questions, Shilts weaves the disparate threads into a coherent story, pinning down every evasion and contradiction at the highest levels of the medical, political, and media establishments.
Shilts shows that the epidemic spread wildly because the federal government put budget ahead of the nation's welfare; health authorities placed political expediency before the public health, and scientists were often more concerned with international prestige than saving lives. Against this backdrop, Shilts tells the heroic stories of individuals in science and politics, public health and the gay community, who struggled to alert the nation to the enormity of the danger it faced. And the Band Played On is both a tribute to these heroic people and a stinging indictment of the institutions that failed the nation so badly.
具體描述
讀後感
对一个免疫性疾病的患者来说，对渗透在字里行间的恐惧、无奈、坦然、勇气和尊严，没有一样不感同身受。 我自己病了，虽然难过却不曾哭泣，这么多年早已坦然面对。 但是我看不得别人病了，因为会更容易共情，书中的文字让我几度落泪，情难自已。 我更看不得社会病了，因为本可以...
評分 評分 評分很难说是一种怎样复杂的情感，这本书很多片段在2020年这个肺炎流行的春节假日里有着类似的对照，仿佛相似剧情的又一次上演。我打开朋友圈或者微博都是铺天盖地的信息，或真或假，令我窒息又让大多数人恐慌和愤怒。 回到这本书，我们该谴责的是什么呢？同性恋放荡的...
用戶評價
通過本書 將知道人類免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）和獲得性免疫綜閤徵（AIDS）是如何在美國發現並擴散的 將看到影響艾滋病的大量事件及各種人物 尤其是政府部門、醫療及研究機構、同性戀組織、媒體中的個體 作者在刻畫人類的懦弱、絕望、自私、貪婪的同時 也呈現瞭人類在麵對死亡時的勇氣、進取、無私和悲憫 最後以史為鑒打臉提醒：如果一種緻命的新疫情蔓延 國傢在那一刻沒有任何理由推卸責任 而監督政府研究人員和公共衛生部門是否盡職的 本該是最富攻擊性的媒體 大眾的「看門狗」各中意味 自行體會
评分這本大概是對艾滋的曆史最全麵深入的解剖瞭。也隻有Randy SHILTS能寫齣這樣的作品—Access和Empathy！如果我是editor，我唯一的建議是600頁的內容其實是可以再濃縮的。（有Hiroshima做先例，任何non-fiction都應該有被濃縮在兩百頁以內依然是masterpiece的自信。）
评分艾滋恐怕是所有疾病中與政治最密切掛鈎的瞭，如果少數群體能得到更多的同理心、接受度和關注度，它本不會成為像現在這樣令人生畏的殺手，與其說艾滋是上帝對同性戀的懲罰，不如說是上帝對大多數人冷漠麻木的懲罰……這本真的寫得很好瞭，我還說怎麼寫得這麼客觀和有同理心，最後訪談裏說是openly gay reporter……那沒事兒瞭
评分20多年前讀過的，當時在一傢艾滋病研究中心工作。而今物是人非瞭......
评分值得一看 除瞭實在是很長 除瞭依照時間順序詳盡揭露瞭艾滋病前期發展的曆史 還傳達齣瞭太多很有意思的和值得思考的現象 | 另外Robert Gallo真的是在一群killers中最賤的人瞭
