520    "Tony Colletti, a good suburban cop and father of a child 
       with autism, finds himself drawn into the controversy over
       the apparent but rarely acknowledged connection between 
       childhood vaccines and autism. 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.
