{"product_id":"9781509839407","title":"How to Survive a Plague","description":"\u003cp\u003eHow to Survive a Plague by David France is the riveting, powerful and profoundly moving story of the AIDS epidemic and the grass-roots movement of activists, many of them facing their own life-or-death struggles, who grabbed the reins of scientific research to help develop the drugs that turned HIV from a mostly fatal infection to a manageable disease. Around the globe, the 15.8 million people taking anti-AIDS drugs today are alive thanks to their efforts. Not since the publication of Randy Shilts's now classic And the Band Played On in 1987 has a book sought to measure the AIDS plague in such brutally human, intimate, and soaring terms. Weaving together the stories of dozens of individuals, this is an insider's account of a pivotal moment in our history and one that changed the way that medical science is practised worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+David+France\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eDavid France\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David France","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47379462357155,"sku":"9781509839407","price":385.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781509839407_e91a92ba-a44a-4411-b835-c52c4b202f96.jpg?v=1776556318","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781509839407","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
