"A superb account . . . A strongly gripping, essential read." –
Pink Paper "Impressive . . . Garfield recognises the power of dramatising the story in human terms." –
Guardian "This is our
And the Band Played On. Enlivened by telling interviews with health educators, doctors, AIDS activists, social workers, government ministers, and those directly affected - there's something for everyone here: pragmatism, incompetence, denial, bigotry, bravery, humour, guilt and some optimism." –
Arena "A powerful and painful book. Indispensable and instructive . . . Garfield gives us the whole story in a voice which is passionately intent, but controlled and conversational." –
Observer "An indispensable book, essential to an understanding of the times we – the lucky ones – lived through." –
