The Tobacco War: Inside the California Battles

Editorial Reviews
C. Everett Koop, former Surgeon General of the United States
"Shows how the tobacco industry works behind the scenes . . . to subvert public health and how courageous action by public health advocates beat them back." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Ralph Nader
"This motivating narrative about the victories over Big Tobacco and their political minions by a smart, tough and relentless group of citizens and voluntary agencies in the nation's largest state teaches many lessons for future struggles against the tobacco industry and other corporations that control governments in order to sell harmful products. For citizens who want strategy, inspiration and civic wisdom, for students who want to study how people can win against massive odds, for public health workers who need the courage of their convictions and the resolve of their objectives, Tobacco Warby Glantz and Balbach is as complete a menu and map as there is in print." --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
