First line

In 1991, during the Lenten Carnival season in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, I drove up to Delmas, a densely populated shantytown of dirt streets and brightly painted one-room shacks that cling to the edge of the hills above the capital, threatening to slide into garbage-filled ravines full of snakes.

Media reviews

“D’Adesky clearly knows her way around this world, and she provides convincing testimony about the social and political challenges that this epidemic has exposed so starkly in many countries.”—New England Journal of Medicine

“Indespensable for anyone trying to stop the global AIDS epidemic—or who wants to learn its searing lessons.”—Mark Schoofs

“Moving Mountains should be required reading for anyone who wants to know how history’s largest infectious killer of young adults could spread untrammeled across five continents.”—Paul Farmer
