Overview

From caring for the desperately ill to desperately seeking a cure, Dr. Russell Tomar entered a vortex initiated by an unknown, unnamed microorganism. This odyssey brought him into conflict with those who were unwilling to address a relentlessly unfolding international epidemic, subsequently named Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, or AIDS. His journey provides insights into the struggles between fact and ignorance, compassion and bigotry, fear and courage. Ten times as many Americans have died from AIDS than succumbed in Vietnam. The social and economic fabric of whole communities and even countries has been destroyed by this epidemic. How did it happen that the United States and most of the rest of the world missed opportunities to limit the death march? Don't Stop Dreaming provides insights into those past events that continue to shape the way we live our lives.

From this book, one can learn much in specific about the early years of the AIDS/HIV epidemic, and in general about leadership in the face of unanticipated, poorly understood, and threatening events. I recommend this book to those who are too young to have lived during this time. -- Peter T. Cohen, MD, PhD Former staff physician, San Francisco General Hospital

While there are numerous books and articles about the AIDS/HIV epidemic, this book offers another perspective that to me is unique. It is about a doctor-scientist's experiences during the early years of the epidemic. The narrative depicts tragedy, grief, intrigue, hysteria, fear, ignorance, and enlightenment--but it is not fiction. -- Peter T. Cohen, MD, PhD Former Staff Physician, San Francisco General Hospital
