Krátky popis
'Powerful...His extensively reported tales of individual
whistleblowers and their often cruel fates are compelling...They
reveal what it can mean to live in an age of fraud.' Washington
Post'Tom Mueller's authoritative and timely book reveals what
drives a few brave souls to expose and denounce specific cases of
corruption.' George SorosWe are living in a time of mind-boggling
corruption, but we are also, as it happens, living in a golden age
of whistleblowing. Over the past two decades, the brave insiders
who decide to expose wrongdoing have gained unprecedented legal and
social stature, emerging as the government's best weapon against
corporate misconduct - and the citizenry's best defense against
government gone bad. They are also forcing us to consider
fundamental questions about our democracy, especially the proper
balance between free speech and state secrecy, and between
individual rights and corporate power.Drawing on relentless
original research, including in-depth interviews with more than 200
whistleblowers and the elite coterie of legal trailblazers who have
armed them for battle - plus scores of politicians, intelligence
analysts, government watchdogs, cognitive scientists, and other
experts - Crisis of Conscience is a modern-day David-and-Goliath
saga, told through a series of riveting cases drawn from Big
Pharma, the military, and beyond. Whistleblowers are not only
heroes who expose and anatomize corruption and ensure that it is
punished usually at enormous cost to themselves - Mueller shows how
they are also models we all must think and act more like if our
democracy is to survive.
