How to Survive a Plague: The Story of How Activists and Scientists Tamed AIDS by David France

informative inspiring slow-paced

The biggest thing that I got out of this book was how incredibly hard the gay community fought in the 1980s to be considered a priority by the medical establishment. This was a really wonderful deep dive into this movement. For anyone wanting to read it, don't be intimidated by the page length! A lot of the numbered pages are part of a detailed notes section at the end, which I think is optional. I didn't read the notes, anyways.
