My City Was Gone One American Town Toxic Secret Its Angry Band of Locals and a $700 Million Day in Court Dennis Love 9780060585518 Books Reviews

• In depth information about the chemical cloud that hung over Anniston for too many years, cleverly concealed by Monsanto, the Army, the Alabama Environmental Protection Agency and the Defense Department. So many of the poor, under educated hurt even killed by the profit generating PCB production.
• I grew up in Anniston for part of my life and I'm just older than the author. I remember so much of what he has written from first-hand experience. It is very sad to see a thriving town and community (even with all its struggles) deteriorate so badly.
  
  He has written the material in a way that reminds me of John Grisham. It is written so that it is easily readable and understandable and not overly technical. It should open the eyes of those ignorant of what goes on in the background of events.
• This book is written with astonishing accuracy. I too, am a victim of Monsanto while stationed at Fort McClellan Army post in Anniston. I was going through the Military Police school from May-Sept 1978. We were totally unaware of the surrounding dangers of these toxins, radiation and nerve agents. Many years later, I have been diagnosed woth numerous illnesses, all that can be linked to my exposure while in Anniston. Both Monsanto and the U.S. Government have tried to cover this exposure up and as of today, we veterans have not been officially notified of our exposure, neither by Monsanto, nor the government. Alot of us have died and many others are dying. We are fighting to be evaluated, treated and compensated for our numerous illnesses and diseases. It has been a long battle. HR411 was drafted by Congressman Paul Tonko (NY) to get us help. It has sat for 7 years and still has not been passed. We veterans ask that all of you might sign the HR411 petition to assist us all in getting help. Thanks. Paul.
• Brought to memory people and places when I grew up in Anniston
• Monsanto poisoned the whole area, and then tried to cover it all up. Anniston is known as the "Most contaminated Town in America" according to 60 Minutes.
• HIGHLY recommended reading for anyone that was ever stationed at FORT MC CLELLAN, AL. Find out the truth and history of monsannto toxins.
• What a well written but sad story about the corruption of a corporation over decades. Being a citizen of Alabama I have often thought we're a third world country.
• Great product!
