Craig Timberg
Description: In this groundbreaking narrative, Longtime Washington Post journalist Craig Timberg and award-winning AIDS researcher Daniel Halperin tell the surprising story of how western colonial powers unwittingly sparked the AIDS epidemic and then fanned it...
“The sometimes glorious, often tragic constellation of science, politics, and personalities in the fight against AIDS comes to life in the masterful storytelling of an energetic journalist and a passionate scientist.”
“Randy Shilts’s And the Band Played On was the first—and for decades the best—book on AIDS. Tinderbox is every bit as good, revealing the same denial, the same story of politics trumping science, and the same tragedy. Read it!"
“Craig Timberg and Daniel Halperin have written a searing book about the AIDS epidemic. Tinderbox is an indictment of Western ineptitude and meddling and lost opportunities to prevent millions of infections and deaths."
