- timspalding recommends World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks, "Some may take offense at the suggestion, but I think don't think World War Z could have been written without And the Band Played On, an oral history (see more) of the all-too-real AIDS epidemic. Shilts' is by far the better book, even if it weren't true and important."
- espertus recommends The Invisible Cure: Africa, the West, and the Fight Against AIDS by Helen Epstein, "Two interesting books on the spread of AIDS in two very different locations and times. "And the Band Played On" is about the emergence of AIDS, with a (see more) focus on the San Francisco gay community in the 1980s, which the author was a part of, and the (non-)response by the American government. "The Invisible Cure" is about governments' and NGOs' responses to AIDS in African countries in the 1990s and early 2000s, with varying degrees of success based on different levels of understanding of the problem and effectiveness in directing resources."
