Reviews

This well-written and researched book should appeal to the legal mind, since it recounts how human folly on a grand scale led to an ever-increasing stream of personal damages claims and a commission of enquiry. --Philip Burgess, Law Society Journal

A serious, sombre and, at times, heart-rending account befitting a tragic and awful story . . . At all times Haigh's research is impeccable. This is the book's great strength--it could become the reference book on all matters relating to asbestos. -- Herald Sun
