It opens with a line that jolts, “I have spent the last four years watching people die.”  What follows is a riveting excursion into the tragedy that is the AIDS pandemic and one man’s almost obsessive drive to do something about it. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eLewis recounts how in 2000, global leaders agreed to eight Millennium Development Goals, promising the poor such essentials as primary education, basic health and a reversal of AIDS by 2015. In audacious prose, alive with anecdotes ranging from maddening to hilarious to heart-breaking, Lewis shows why and how the promises can't be kept. Race Against Time probes the appalling gap between vision and current reality, but also offers bracingly attainable solutions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR: \u003cspan data-huuid=\"12762437784652548355\"\u003eStephen Lewis is a multifaceted figure, best known as a Canadian politician, public speaker, and humanitarian. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-huuid=\"12762437784652547874\"\u003eHe has also written and published books, including \"Race Against Time: Searching for Hope in AIDS-Ravaged Africa\". \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-huuid=\"12762437784652547393\"\u003eHis work in politics includes serving as the leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party and as the Canadian ambassador to the United Nations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eFor more info on this Author, please see:\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thecanadianencyclopedia.ca\/en\/article\/stephen-henry-lewis\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eStephen Lewis | The Canadian Encyclopedia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eTo view this exact same book, but AUTHOR SIGNED, please see: \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/gillmore.ca\/products\/1950\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003eRACE AGAINST TIME, by Stephen Lewis (1st Ed.
