Octavo.  Silver letters on full red cloth in FINE (as new) condition in a like Brodart protected dust jacket. 365 pp. This book details the propaganda and intimidation used by US car manufactures to misinform the public and thwart the introduction of auto safety features. It was a pioneering work of attack journalism, openly polemical but containing substantial references and material from industry insiders. The extent of his accomplishments on behalf of the public is simply amazing. Nader’s work initiated the consumer protection movement in the United States.  He fostered over 40 organizations to protect the public.  This book is a rare edition, signed by the great man.
