Review
"Hunter...uses personal anecdotes to detail the story of a growing epidemic."--Library Journal
"This book opens many new perspectives on what has become the largest epidemic in human history. More importantly, it gives us insight into the human tragedy and triumph that is the daily bread of people and communities in the areas most affected by AIDS throughout the world"--Peter Piot, Executive Director, UNAIDS
In this book, global AIDS expert Susan Hunter combines her profound emotional intelligence
and her exp
up0erience in Africa to help us understand the true state of the World that we live in.
Her writing is brilliant. The tapestry she weaves is compass
dn0 ionate, grounded in history, and
extraordinarily real. She helps us believe that we can create a better world, if we learn to change
ourselves to meet the challenges of AIDS and poverty as they confront us in the 21st century."
--Paul Zeitz, Executive Director of the Global AIDS Alliance
"Sus0an Hunter's book Black Death is the long needed AIDS 101 primer for Joe Q and Sally Public.
Buy this book, read it, then give it to ten friends."--20Eric Sawyer, Co-Founder, ACT UP New York
"The story of AIDS in the world is ultimately a story about the way the world is.
Susan Hunter’s insightp0ful and compassionate account of AIDS in Africa brings this
truth into compelling focus. A must-read."--Robert Bilheimer, director of A Closer Walk
"This is one of the most important books on AIDS to be published during the last several
years. The picture of the epidemic is gripping; more, it's presented in compassionate human
terms, and the scientific questions she raises about disease and evolution are quite intriguing.
The book is chilling and fascinating in equal measure. It's a splendid read"
