Recensioner i media

* 'AIDS denialism has resulted in the deaths of at least hundreds of thousands of people. Nattrass's book provides an important service to the world and will save lives.' Mark Wainberg, Director of the McGill University AIDS Centre, past President of the International AIDS Society and co-chair of the Toronto 2006 AIDS Conference * 'This book is more than a chronicle of the legacy of AIDS denialism in South Africa. It argues eloquently and convincingly for the scientific governance of medicine.' Zackie Achmat, Treatment Action Campaign * 'Mortal Combat provides a compelling and just exposition of South Africa's puzzling and tragic engagement with AIDS denialism.' Edwin Cameron, Supreme Court of Appeal judge and author of Witness to AIDS
