"Journalistically rigorous yet profoundly empathetic, The Toxic Waste Scandal captures the painstaking process of uncovering facts amid bureaucratic secrecy and institutional indifference. It highlights the courage of everyday people—like George’s family—who, instead of shrinking from adversity, fought to expose the truth behind their children’s suffering, driven by determination and frustration."
