Synopsis

In this deeply disturbing book, many of the major health scandals of recent years are examined. In case after case the firms or industries concerned reacted by doing their damnest to cover up the truth - by smoothly evasive public relations exercises, by lies, by the cynical misuse of legal processes, by the suppression or doctoring of evidence and even by outright criminal acts. The cover-up is an almost automatic response by business and even sometimes by the agencies specifically set up to protect the public. And as effective remedial action is prevented or delayed, the cover-up kills. Kills inevitably and repeatedly. *Thalidomide *Asbestos *Nuclear and *Microwave radiation *Pesticides
