Reviews

'Dense and meticulously annotated, it makes for a cumbersome, though essential, read. ... Perhaps the most striking part of the book is learning how often members of ACT UP/LA were scared and frightened to participate in actions but still did.' Scottie Campbell, Watermark Online (www.watermarkonline.com) 'Thoroughly researched by author Benita Roth, she offers a fresh perspective and respect for the rebellious and historical work done by the men and women of ACT UP.' Bill Bliss, Rage Monthly
