Blake’s deft chronicle of one of the greatest moral scandals of our time, a book that none of us can afford to miss, reminds us that 'we can’t count on our leaders to protect us from these threats without intense, sustained public pressure.'
Blake tells this heartbreaking and horrifying story in a manner that should motivate and outrage readers ... A powerfully written narrative that needs to be shared widely.
Blake documents in great detail the efforts of several locals impacted by the poisoning to prove DuPont’s culpability and pursue damages ... Impeccably researched and outrageous both in the scope of the company’s malfeasance and the efforts of those who support it, the narrative never strays from its relentless documentation of the generational price paid for our decades of lax regulation. A must-read.
A finely observed account ... Blake presents Hickey’s crusade as a crackling David vs. Goliath story, and her impressive research provides damning evidence of PFAS manufacturers’ callous indifference. Readers will be outraged.
