"An urgent, alarming work of health reporting that will make you
question every drug in your medicine cabinet."--Kirkus
Reviews (starred review)
"A shocking and masterful work of global investigative
reporting.... This is a book that should inform and alarm the many
millions of Americans (and their doctors) who use generic drugs."
--Overseas Press Club, in awarding Bottle of Lies the
Cornelius Ryan Award for best non-fiction book on International
Affairs
"Gripping...Riveting and increasingly foreboding...Eban's pacing,
along with a structure that makes this astonishingly complex story
easy to follow, gives the book a rough, unforced elegance...An
invaluable expose, a reportorial tour de force and a well-turned
epic."--New York Times
"Bottle of Lies is a tour de force of dogged reporting. In
her bracing, panoramic account, Katherine Eban expertly unspools a
colossal fraud with momentous implications for public health...This
book is so alarming in places that it reads like a dystopian
medical thriller. But it's true."--Patrick Radden Keefe,
author of Say Nothing and The
Snakehead
"A shocking expose of corporate greed, arrogance, and eagerness to
exploit the weak for profit....Bottle of Lies is an
important work of investigative journalism. Anyone who takes
prescription drugs should read it."--Eric Schlosser, author
of Command and Control and Fast Food
Nation
"This book will save lives...What Rachel Carson did for our
understanding of the perils facing the environment Katherine Eban
has now done for our understanding of the threats to our health
from the drugs we take every day. Bottle of Lies is
Katherine Eban's masterwork of global investigative
reporting."--James Risen, Pulitzer Prize winner and author
of Pay Any Price and State of War
