Upon it's first publication twenty years ago, "And The Band Played" on was quickly recognized as a masterpiece of investigatve reporting. An international bestseller, a nominee for the National Book Critics Circle Award, and made into a critically acclaimed movie, Shilts' expose revealed why AIDS was allowed to spread unchecked during the early 80's while the most trusted institutions ignored or denied the threat. One of the few true modern classics, it changed and framed how AIDS was discussed in the following years. Now republished in a special 20th Anniversary edition, "And the Band Played On" remains one of the essential books of our time.
Quite a brick. Offers interesting perspective on the onset of the epidemic. Lays blame rather liberally, the plethora of characters is hard to keep up with

《世纪的哭泣》原著题目是“And the Band Played On”，让人联想到杜牧的诗句：商女不知亡国恨，隔江犹唱后庭花。书问世以后，许多人问兰迪·希尔兹为何取此书名，他解释道，“照常营业”的时髦说法而已——其实这是一句歌词，在美国乐队“The Temptation”1970年的作品“Ball ...
