'In this book, Alex de Waal does what few have done before him: he moves beyond the assumed polemic, separates ideologically infused doom-saying from the available empirical evidence and bases his conclusions on what we actually know about the impact of AIDS.' - Pieter Fourie, University of Johannesburg, in Politikon (April 2007), 34 (1)
