how the West sparked the AIDS epidemic and how the world can finally overcome it

Summary

"Washington Post reporter Craig Timberg and Harvard AIDS researcher Daniel Halpern, PhD, recount for the first time how Western colonial powers unwittingly sparked the AIDS epidemic and then fanned its rise. Drawing on remarkable new genetic discoveries, Tinderbox overturns the coventional wisdom on the origins of this deadly pandemic and the best means to fight it today."-- Provided by the publisher
