Stephen Lewis, Co-Director of AIDS-Free World and former UN Special Envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa, is the author of Race Against Time: Searching for Hope in AIDS-Ravaged Africa. His impassioned speeches, alive with anecdotes ranging from maddening to hilarious to heartbreaking, are a wake-up call for a world falling desperately short of the goals it has set for itself. Lewis probes the appalling gap between vision and current reality in the global fight for an AIDS-free world, but he also offers bracingly attainable solutions.
