Conclusion: Struggling Toward the FutureReviewsWhile the focus of [this book] is on detailed documentation of AIDS-specific issues, readers interested mainly in the policymaking process will also find this a valuable example of a high-stakes and controversial issue area. Siplon has filled a major gap in the political science literature with much of the passion and engagement she so clearly admires among the activists she profiles. Perspectives on Politics Patricia Siplon's book, AIDS and the Policy Struggle in the United States, offers useful source material for what may be the rightful beginning of a shift toward a richer focus on AIDS as a public policy issue... a compelling work about the often-problematic public-policy responses (or lack thereof) to the countless medical and social problems presented by the AIDS epidemic in the United States... a terrific read.
