It Was Vulgar and It Was Beautiful: How AIDS Activists Used Art to Fight a Pandemic by Jack Lowery

Very interesting and well researched study (despite lack of tradtional bibliography) into the work of Gran Fury and ACT UP.
Lowery's research relies heavily on oral histories which I am finding fascinating at the moment.
He really doesn't shy away from the challenges and fallings out that occured between both groups and I found this sense of reality really refreshing and showed the challenges of activism in such a real way.
However, I did find this book a bit of a slog to get through at times and it took me a long time to finish!
