I read it years ago, and it was absolutely fascinating. The made for TV movie was good, too, as I recall.

P.S. RIP Randy Shilts, author of And The Band Played On, The Mayor of Castro Street, and Conduct Unbecoming: Gays and Lesbians in the U.S. Military, amazing writer snd journalist, and a casualty of the AIDS epidemic he himself chronicled. Gone almost 30 years now, and still greatly missed, like so many others.
