His quest to uncover the truth forces him to risk all he holds dear while confronting corrupt government officials, the powerful pharmaceutical industry, and disturbing elements of his own past. Even while holding down his job and dealing with family crises, Colletti spearheads the drive to contend with industrial espionage, Russian gangsters, and sexual predators preying upon disabled children. He and his colleagues face powerful government and private factions that manipulate the media, fabricate scientific research, conduct shadowy judicial proceedings, and viciously attack those who question vaccine safety. In this gripping novel, government and industry have formed an unholy alliance that places profit ahead of children's health, one that compels ordinary Americans to fight back to protect their families and the ideals of justice. In the tradition of Ibsen's An Enemy of the People and echoing the infamous Minamata, Japan, mercury poisoning tragedy, The Autism War reminds us how a handful of dedicated citizens armed with convincing evidence can prevail over a complacent majority and overwhelming odds."--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 650 0 Autistic children|vFiction. 650 0 Vaccines|vFiction. 650 0 Pharmaceutical industry|vFiction. 650 0 People with disabilities|xCrimes against|vFiction. 650 7 FICTION|xThrillers|xMedical.|2bisacsh 650 7 FICTION|xGeneral.|2bisacsh 650 7 Autistic children.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00822506 650 7 People with disabilities|xCrimes against.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01057257 650 7 Pharmaceutical industry.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01060129 650 7 Vaccines.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01163573 655 7 Fiction.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 Suspense fiction.|2gsafd 776 08 |iPrint version:|aConte, Louis, (Advocate).|tAutism war |z9781626365636|w(DLC) 2014011532|w(OCoLC)874901901 914 ocn875406585 994 92|bGTK
