520 "A few short years after HIV first entered the world blood
supply in the late 1970s and early 1980s, over half the
hemophiliacs in the United States were infected with the
virus. But this was far more than just an unforeseeable
public health disaster. Negligent doctors, government
regulators, and Big Pharma all had a hand in this
devastating epidemic. Blood on Their Hands is an inspiring,
firsthand account of the legal battles fought on behalf of
hemophiliacs who were unwittingly infected with tainted
blood. As part of the team behind the key class action
litigation filed by the infected, young New Jersey lawyer
Eric Weinberg was faced with a daunting task: to prove the
negligence of a powerful, well-connected global industry
worth billions. Weinberg and journalist Donna Shaw tell
the dramatic story of how idealistic attorneys and their
heroic, mortally-ill clients fought to achieve justice and
prevent further infections. A stunning exposé of one of
the American medical system's most shameful debacles,
Blood on Their Hands is a rousing reminder that, through
perseverance, the victims of corporate greed can sometimes
achieve great victory."--Publisher's website.
