Description
A Civil Action is the gripping true story of a man who takes on two of the nation's largest corporations accused of killing children from water contamination. The case is a stark example of the struggle between greed and justice, and the devastating consequences that can result. The story follows the unlikeliest of heroes, a young lawyer who represents the bereaved parents in a bid to win millions of dollars. As the case unfolds, the lawyer's own life is put at risk, and the outcome hangs precariously in the balance. With its unstoppable narrative power, A Civil Action is a compelling tale that will leave readers both shocked and enlightened. This book is a powerful exploration of the human cost of corporate greed and the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
