The Whistleblower: Confessions of a Healthcare Hitman

A number of books critical of the pharmaceutical industry have recently been published, but none has been an expose written by a senior executive of one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. "The Whistleblower" is at once an unmasking of how corporations take care of malcontents and a gripping story of one man's fight to maintain his family and his sanity. Starting in 2003, the book details the illegal, even criminal business practices the author witnessed at his corporation, as well as his crusade to legalize the reimportation of drugs. It also explains how in this post-Enron world whistle-blowers can't simply be fired, and what the author's corporation did to coerce and silence him. A story of a battle that continues today, one which any American who takes or will take prescription drugs has a stake in, "The Whistleblower" is a powerful testimony.
