Description

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 organisation during the height of the 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 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 Organisation. 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 organisation that brings hope and change to nearly all corners of the world.
