Righteous Rebels - Patrick Range McDonald

In

a riveting portrait of the world’s largest HIV/AIDS medical-care

provider, award-winning journalist Patrick Range McDonald reveals AIDS

Healthcare Foundation’s unlikely rise from a feisty grassroots

organization during the height of 1980s AIDS crisis to its position

today as a global leader in the fight to control HIV and AIDS. This

untold story highlights AHF’s bold history of activism, its

hard-charging advocacy on the behalf of vulnerable people, and its

heroic efforts to provide free HIV drug treatment around the world. With

insider access, McDonald follows AHF for a year as it clashes with the

Obama administration, the state of Nevada, and the World Health

Organization. He interviews AHF’s key players, including firebrand

president Michael Weinstein, and travels to AHF outposts around the

globe. Along the way, McDonald discovers that AHF is a tenacious “people

power” organization that brings hope and change to nearly all corners

of the world.
