McLibel by John Vidal

In 1990 McDonald's slapped writs on five London activists for allegedly libelling them in a leaflet entitled, "What's Wrong with McDonald's?" They successfully silenced three, but not Dave Morris and Helen Steel, who refused to apologize. For two years the trial went through issues from employment, advertising, recycling and litter, to nutrition, animal rights and deforestation. The company found itself on trial. This book examines The "McLibel" trial, its impact, and the political and legal significance of the case - a morality tale of our times.
