<br/><br/> [Publisher-supplied data] An insider's view of the state-supported AIDS denial of South African leaders Thabo Mbeki and Manto Shabalala-Msimang, this memoir describes a great triumph of citizen activism. The account begins with the efforts of the Treatment Action_Campaign (TAC) to rouse public alarm over the puzzling intransigence of the government and the lack of drugs for people suffering from untreated AIDS. Finally, this book details how TAC_ultimately_succeeded on a much larger scale, as the group exposed corrupt doctors Matthias Rath and Zeblon Gwala and publicized the case of patient Andile Madondile, who had been deceived about his medicine.
