The Skeptics Guide to: The Global AIDS Crisis

Author: Dale Hanson Bourke

You want a dose of reality? You looking for a reminder that America isn't the only land mass full of people who breathe oxygen, like to laugh, and eat food? This book did it for me. I am definitely more aware of my 'inherited riches' than I have ever been before.

It’s a short and easy read. Lots of pictures and quote boxes make it easy on the eyes, in fact, the book could be read in it’s entirety in less than 2 hours (if you’re the kind who enjoys that).

I love the honesty of the author in the way he tells it like he was told and shows his journey of waking up to the harsh reality of AIDS and the people who are dying from it all over the world.

The author shows why he was a skeptic and why it easy to not believe it. We look at Magic Johnson and how he is still alive and think everything in the world must be that easy…but we’re wrong.

It’s short, cheap, and easy to read. Read it. Care.

“The number of AIDS casualties is equivalent to 24 fully loaded 747 airplanes going down everyday in Sub Saharan Africa.”
