Description

** With a new introduction by Russell T Davies **A new edition of the award-winning, ground-breaking account of the early AIDS crisis in Britain. 'Masterful.' Jonathan Dean, Sunday Times'A remarkable journalistic achievement.' Time Out'Powerful . . . Indispensable.' Observer'Superb.' London Review of BooksWinner of the Somerset Maugham PrizeHow does a country control a virus that is killing increasing numbers of people?How does a government contain an epidemic spread by sex, drug use and blood products?And how does a population react when told that everyone is at risk from infection?By 1986, when the British Government woke up to the problem of AIDS, it estimated that 30,000 people had already been infected with HIV.

Why did it act so late? Would the situation have been different if most of those affected had not been gay men?Award-winning journalist Simon Garfield presents a story of political intrigue, of panic and hysteria, of wasted opportunities and of a medical battle conducted against seemingly impossible odds.

Including interviews with key figures in the fight against the virus as well as those facing personal devastation and prejudice, The End of Innocence is an important and powerful story, compellingly told. Features a new afterword by the author.
