Reseña del libro "Silent Shock: The men Behind the Thalidomide Scandal and an Australian Family's Long Road to Justice (en Inglés)"

AN EPIC ACCOUNT OF PERSONAL STRUGGLE AGAINST CORPORATE VILLAINYFinally, 50 years on, an exposé of the global thalidomide disaster and subsequent cover-up, told through the prism of an Australian family's battle.Lyn Rowe was born in Melbourne in 1962, seven months after her mother Wendy was given a new 'wonder drug' for morning sickness called thalidomide. For 50 years the Rowe family cared for Lyn. Decades of exhausting, round-the-clock work. But then in 2011 Lyn Rowe launched a legal claim against the thalidomide companies. Against the odds, she won a multimillion-dollar settlement. Former journalist Michael Magazanik is one of the lawyers who ran Lyn's case. In SILENT SHOCK he exposes a 50-year cover up concerning history's most notorious drug, and details not only the damning case against manufacturers Grünenthal - whose ruthless promotion of their lucrative drug in the face of mounting evidence beggars belief - but also the moving story of the Rowe family.
