It chronicles how these individuals, often with ties to industry, employed tactics perfected by the tobacco industry to sow confusion about the dangers of smoking, later applying the same strategies to topics such as acid rain, the ozone hole, and global warming. The narrative presents a meticulously researched account of scientific disinformation campaigns, illustrating the profound impact on public policy and environmental health. Readers will find a sobering and authoritative examination of the deliberate obfuscation of truth for political and economic gain.
