This book is comprised of five lectures given by Stephen Lewis for CBC's Massey Lectures Series in 2005. This book is enraging and amazing. I've been quoting it for weeks now. I wonder what it will be like to read this book 20 years from now with the knowledge of what we all did or didn't do about Africa and AIDS and 42% of Swaziland being HIV+ and more Africans having died of AIDS since the pandemic's beginnings than all the people killed in all of the wars in the twentieth century. It blows you away.
