"I have spent the last four years watching people die." With
these wrenching words, humanitarian Stephen Lewis begins his
personal, often searing insider's account of Africa's plight
and the wealthy world's betrayal. Lewis 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.
