Derek Meyers third book remembers the incredible brave fighters and talented icons of dance during the AIDS crisis and looks back at each of the four decades since the first cases of the disease were reported in the early 1980s. Medical dramas such as Greys Anatomy have been top rated in recent years and this book won t let readers down who want to learn more about HIV and AIDS, but Live as Heroes is mainly a book about the heroes, who were not getting tired of trying to make a difference right in the face of darkness. The book connects the power of the performing arts with the inspiring stories of those people who fought against discriminations and the missing support from the government and managed to build up organizations such as the GMHC or AIDS Healthcare Foundation. It also tells a personal story which is both sweet and sad at the same time and encourages its readers to ask themselves if they prefer to hide as villains and cowards or Live as Heroes.
