the nightmare, the dream

"War in the Blood" is my favorite Asia book of recent years. It is still the definitive work on Southeast Asia's HIV/AIDS epidemic; but it is also a beautifully wrought travel memoir, written by a compassionate & intelligent observer. I have recommended it to many people interested in Burma. It also would be a fine clear-eyed introduction to contemporary Southeast Asian culture in all of its contradictions and surprises. "War in the Blood" is by no means a depressing work of epidemiology; rather it is a call to action, and in that sense, a ray of hope.

Excellent overview of culture, politics, and HIV in SE Asia

Beyrer combines an incredible amount factual information in a very readable account of the march of HIV through SE Asia. He does best with his coverage of Thailand and Burma, the countries he knows most. He does a fine job of weaving strands of epidemiology, medicine, politics, and culture together. The book goes beyond the often one-dimensional accounts of HIV in the region and with bradth, a credible grasp of facts, and a sympathetic, personal point of view.
