When the Lion Roars (Hardcover)

When hundreds of thousands of Vietnam vets start getting sick-cancer, birth defects in their children, dying young-researcher Dr. James Allen has the answer. They were poisoned by the dioxin in Agent Orange. As the world's leading authority on dioxin, Dr. Allen has been studying the lethal effects of this chemical for twenty years. But Dr. Allen quickly finds out he is up against forces he can't imagine. Powerful corporate interests want to destroy his work and reputation. The Veteran's Administration hopes to discredit him and the vets and their families. As Dr. Allen will soon learn, his enemies will stop at nothing to keep the truth from coming out. Even murder. Gil Bogen is the author of Tinkers, Evers, and Chance: A Triple Biography and Johnny Kling: A Baseball Biography.
