The Body Hunters by Sonia Shah
Reveals the unethical drug testing practices of the multinational pharmaceutical industry. Based on research and reporting from Africa and Asia, the author shows how the pharmaceutical industry is using testing procedures in the global South that would cause scandals in the developed world, and is exploiting the misery of millions.
"Shah has written a brilliant book.. this is not a Michael Moore-style anti-corporate rant - Shah writes beautifully, with dispassionate, elegant clarity - and it is all the more powerful for it." THE GUARDIAN "An insightful missive." - CLAMOR MAGAZINE "A stinging jeremiad... Shah has a crisp writing style and that knack for deploying statistics judiciously, rather than maniacally... most rewarding." - THE AGE (MELBOURNE) "An engrossing, thoroughly documented warning." - THE ADVERTISER (ADELAIDE)"
Sonia Shah is the author of Crude: The Story of Oil and an independent journalist. Her articles have appeared in Salon, Playboy, The Nation, Orion, and elsewhere, and have been widely anthologized.
