Aids: the Final and Fatal Foreign Service Boondoggle: Memoirs of a Foreign Service Officer Philip Smart

The reader should know that this work contains the truth and nothing but the truth. The facts about the development of the AIDS pandemic are based on personal knowledge, direct conversations with eyewitnesses to the programs and practices mentioned and information from reliable sources listed in the Bibliography. Some names have been changed to protect the innocent. The research and writing took nearly a decade and no effort is made to attribute each statement to a source. I will leave that to more scholarly works. If the author appears outraged by facts reported, it is with no malice that they are included. I don't believe that anyone mentioned in this book did anything other than his best to carry out his function and that it is the hand of nature itself that transmuted well intentioned acts into the engine that created and spread the virus that has changed the lives of all humanity. If you cannot accept the honesty, truthfulness and good will of the author read no further.
