Harvard University researcher Edward Green shows how four forces—ideology, politics, a fixation on technology, and money—have produced AIDS policy failures in Africa, where two-thirds of all AIDS victims live. Dr. Green calls for a more flexible and empirically based policy focused on promoting fidelity—the only approach that has proven effective in Africa.

Book Description:

Harvard researcher Edward Green describes how Western ideology—fueled by political polarization and money—sabotaged the most successful AIDS program in history and inadvertently brought a holocaust to Africa. He calls for new emphasis on promoting fidelity—the only strategy (besides circumcision) proven to work there.
