HIV/AIDS expert Susan Hunter is the author of Black Death: AIDS in Africa and Reshaping Societies. Her latest book, AIDS in Asia, was published in January by Palgrave/Macmillan.

Betrayal of Trust by Laurie Garrett (Hyperion, $18). Garrett was among the first to warn us of the threat of new global epidemics, with her 1994 book, The Coming Plague. In 2000, Betrayal of Trust exposed the growing trend of political incompetence and hubris that compounds our inability to deal with our insidious disease foes. Garrett consistently makes great reading for anyone who doesn’t want to sleep at night.
