Typos throughout can be a bit distracting but otherwise it's an enthralling and infuriating read entailing the atrocities of the asbestos industry (CSR's handling of the Wittenoom mine in particular) and how they leveraged the legal system in a shamefully prolonged attempt to skirt culpability.
If you have interests in investigative journalism, corporate greed, occupational hazards, a touch of medical history, environmentalism and the unfortunate contamination of it then this book has what you're looking for. It's a keeper for me!

Brilliant exposé of alarming and appalling practises at an asbestos mine in Wittenoom, WA, and throughout the industry.
Prose was a little emotive and overblown at times, but was still an excellent read.
