  Can anyone recommend an interdisciplinary book about the history of AIDs? IE scientific, social, cultural etc.

  2 0 The Epidemic by Jonathan Engel is fascinating, well written, and wide in scope. I would highly recommend this book. There's also And the Band Played On by Randy Shilts, a journalist who covered AIDS in San Francisco before succumbing to the disease himself in 1994.
