It's news for those of us not in the AIDS research community.

That book is very widely spread outside of the AIDS research community, and is only peripherally about AIDS/HIV. Even lay-people are reading it in droves. Definitely a good read if you have the time.

I'd recommend The Origins of Aids - it's a great book (wrote for the laymen) that explores this very topic.

Fascinating read - published a few years ago.
