"A gripping chronicle by a corporate whistle-blower who achieved a stunning victory."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Michael Woodford took a considerable risk in exposing wrongdoing. He was a study of boldness in action."
--Lionel Barber, editor, Financial Times
"Woodford's reaction to the corporate malfeasance and corruption he discov-ered once he reached the top is even more noteworthy, though perhaps not surprising. Throughout his life he had demonstrated a willingness to speak out against what he perceived as treachery, even when it could result in financial harm or personal danger."
--Bloomberg BusinessWeek
"Michael Woodford could have spent years turning a blind eye to the shady dealings of corporate executives at Olympus. Instead . . . he dove headfirst into allegations of corporate misconduct."
--Time, in naming him a 2011 Person Who Mattered
"Michael Woodford is a man who did not stand by and do nothing. He stood his ground and he spoke the truth. It's people like him who keep our soci-ety from falling into total darkness. Japan could use more people like him."
--Jake Adelstein, author of Tokyo Vice, from the Afterword
"He's the most celebrated international whistleblower of recent times. His story is filled with mystery, suspense, and betrayal."
--Management Today
"Michael Woodford lost his job for his integrity."
--The Economist
'Michael Woodford had everything the corporate world could ever offer. Yet when he discovered rampant corruption at the core of one of Japan's most prestigious companies, he did not hesitate: This is a sensational personal account of a man of great courage and principle who got to the top, and blew the whistle to glorious effect. In the corporate world Michael Woodford is too rare and exceptional a breed'
Jon Snow, Channel 4 News
