In
a riveting portrait of the world’s largest HIV/AIDS medical-care
provider, award-winning journalist Patrick Range McDonald reveals AIDS
Healthcare Foundation’s unlikely rise from a feisty grassroots
organization during the height of 1980s AIDS crisis to its position
today as a global leader in the fight to control HIV and AIDS. This
untold story highlights AHF’s bold history of activism, its
hard-charging advocacy on the behalf of vulnerable people, and its
heroic efforts to provide free HIV drug treatment around the world. With
insider access, McDonald follows AHF for a year as it clashes with the
Obama administration, the state of Nevada, and the World Health
Organization. He interviews AHF’s key players, including firebrand
president Michael Weinstein, and travels to AHF outposts around the
globe. Along the way, McDonald discovers that AHF is a tenacious “people
power” organization that brings hope and change to nearly all corners
of the world.
