商品簡介
In this Goliath vs. David account, Vidal (environmental editor, London Guardian ) recaps the longest trial (1994-96) in British history: a libel suit by McDonald's restaurants against five London Greenpeace members. Whether or not one agrees with the defendants' pamphlet charging that McDonald's exploits employees, animals, children, farmers, and rain forests, this is an enlightening case study of corporate power and an arcane legal system clashing with free speech rights. Two of the defendants furnished information for the book; the pyrrhic victor, McDonald's, did not. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
