Roche versus Adams chronicles the extraordinary ordeal of Stanley Adams, a senior executive at Hoffmann-La Roche who reported the Swiss drug giant to the European Commission for anti-competitive price-fixing — and paid a devastating personal price for his act of conscience, facing imprisonment, financial ruin, and irretrievable personal tragedy.\n\nWritten with unflinching candour by Adams himself, the narrative lays bare the ruthless machinery of corporate power and the shocking failures of the very institutions meant to protect those who speak truth to it. The account raises urgent questions about the limits of loyalty, the courage demanded of the individual against entrenched interests, and the fragile protections afforded to whistleblowers within European law — questions that remain as pointed today as when the case first shook the corridors of Brussels. A searing testament to one man's refusal to be silenced, this is a story that will leave readers questioning where justice truly lies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49336811684059,"sku":"2026100008816-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/06a80d88-6b7f-4c64-b1c9-843dbee51337.png?v=1789958423","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008816-secondhand-roche-versus-adams","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
