Paul Brodeur's book, published by Pantheon Books in 1985 from material that appeared in slightly different form in The New Yorker, traces asbestos litigation. It runs from insulator Claude Tomplait's compensation claim of 1961-62, through lawyer Ward Stephenson's Borel v. Fibreboard case, the Pittsburgh Corning plant at Tyler, Texas, and discovery of Johns-Manville documents, to the Manville Corporation's Chapter 11 filing of August 26, 1982. The author calls that filing the latest episode in a fifty-year history of corporate malfeasance. Its contents list later chapters on the bankruptcy.
