The End of Innocence : Britain in the Time of AIDS Paperback / softback
by Simon Garfield
Paperback / softback
Description
Published to coincide with World AIDS Day, this book looks at a decade of AIDS in Britain.
As well as the 8000 who have died, some 20,000 are infected with HIV, and many more carry the virus unknowingly.
With no cure or even a vaccine in sight, and growing evidence of complacency, AIDS is still one of the greatest post-war challenges the UK faces.
This book covers every significant development of the disease, from the early ignorance and panic to the emergence of AIDS as a good cause taken up by Sir Ian McKellen, George Michael and the Princess of Wales.
The author uses information supplied by doctors, scientists, government ministers and civil servants, as well as interviews with leading entertainment figures such as Stephen Fry, Elton John and the late Derek Jarman.
