Fighting For Our Lives

Description:


'An incredible testimony to the darkest hours of Australia's queer history – and the organisation that helped change everything. A story of devastation, resistance and, ultimately, survival, every Australian should know.' — Benjamin Law 

Fighting For Our Lives is the inspirational story of communities directly affected by the AIDS crisis. Against a harrowing backdrop of illness and death, fear and anger, hate and discrimination, they bravely took action.

During the darkest years of the epidemic, marginalised communities – mostly gay men, sex workers and people who inject drugs – came together to form organisations that gave them a voice in the corridors of power. They built an unprecedented alliance with politicians and medical experts, a three-way partnership that made Australia's response to AIDS one of the most successful in the world.

Fighting For Our Lives captures the high-stakes drama of this extraordinary period and the stories of the people at the very centre of a life-or-death struggle. It is a gripping read, an important story, and one that must never be forgotten.

'Fighting For Our Lives is
an impressive history on the scourge of HIV/AIDS in Australia, and how affected
communities came together and forged a remarkable alliance. Nick Cook's
exhaustive and meticulous research highlights the extraordinary resilience of
these communities and how they literally rose up and fought for their lives.' — Peter FitzSimons

'This book is proof positive that light, hope and courage can grow out of the darkest corners of human experience. ACON emerg
