Synopsis
#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER - NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER - The true story of one man so determined to take down two of the nation's largest corporations accused of killing children from water contamination that he risks losing everything. " The legal thriller of the decade." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer Described as "a page-turner filled with greed, duplicity, heartache, and bare-knuckle legal brinksmanship" by The New York Times , A Civil Action is the searing, compelling tale of a legal system gone awry--one in which greed and power fight an unending struggle against justice. Yet it is also the story of how one man can ultimately make a difference. Representing the bereaved parents, the unlikeliest of heroes emerges: a young, flamboyant Porsche-driving lawyer who hopes to win millions of dollars and ends up nearly losing everything, including his sanity. With an unstoppable narrative power reminiscent of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood , A Civil Action is an unforgettable reading experience that will leave the reader both shocked and enlightened. A Civil Action was made into a movie starring John Travolta and Robert Duvall., This true story of an epic courtroom showdown, where two of the nation's largest corporations were accused of causing the deaths of children from water contamination, was a #1 national bestseller and winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award.

    Order a plate from this person. Saw that it was labeled, but never went out for shipment. I contacted them twice with no response. I had to get eBay itself involved to get my money back. Extremely disappointed and would not recommend this seller at all.
