Geoffrey Tweedale's history of the asbestos hazard at Turner & Newall, which the author calls the leading British asbestos firm, with additional research by Philip Hansen. Oxford University Press first published it in 2000. It draws on T & N records microfilmed by Chase Manhattan Bank's lawyers for its 1995 lawsuit. Chapter 1 covers the 1924 death of Rochdale worker Nellie Kershaw. Chapters cover dust control, medical provision, compensation, the cancer hazard and litigation. The author asks why the industry was most profitable in the 1950s and 1960s, when the health dangers were apparent.
