It is a calamity that is unfolding just a 747-flight away, and one that will take the lives of these 28 million without the help of massive, immediate intervention on an unprecedented scale. Through riveting anecdotal stories – one for each of the million people living with HIV-AIDS in Africa – Nolen explores the effects of an epidemic that well exceeds the Black Plague in magnitude.

A Devastating Portrait of Man-Made Human Suffering JS There are many tragic narrative accounts of AIDS, but Stephanie Nolen's book "28: Stories of AIDS in Africa" is particularly shocking.
