Description

"In the early 1980s the slender body of evidence for a virus of epidemic proportions was becoming irrefutable. The hunt for its cause was on, and with it came a race against time to identify the virus. In this autobiographical tale of that dramatic search, Dr. Luc Montagnier, one of the world's preeminent virologists, relates the Pasteur Institute's leading role in investigating the AIDS virus and his group's success in first identifying it."--BOOK JACKET.
