Hailed both for its revelations and its intense readability, this extraordinary work of investigative reporting examines the myriad theories about the origin of AIDS -- and offers compelling evidence that an experimental polio vaccine administered in Africa in the 1950s led to one of the most devastating infectious diseases in human history. -- The publication will coincide with World AIDS Awareness Day. -- This is a landmark work -- the culmination of a decade of research, involving more than 600 interviews and analysis of more than 4,000 scientific texts. -- Readers of Laurie Garrett's The Coming Plague, Gina Kolata's Flu, and Randy Shilts's And the Band Played On will be fascinated by The River.
