Shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction (1987).

And the Band Played On was an international bestseller and a nominee for the National Book Critics Circle Award. Upon its first publication, the book revealed why AIDS was allowed to spread unchecked during the early 80's while the most trusted institutions ignored or denied the threat. Shilts' investigation showed how the epidemic unfolded through the actions and inactions of politicians, public health officials, doctors, and community leaders, tracing the disease's path and the delayed response that allowed it to become a global catastrophe.
