PRAISE FOR The Killing of Karen Silkwood: "This riveting book gets beyond the surface facts and simple emotions of the Silkwood case to the fundamental and in some cases frightening aspect of a story that may never be completely told." -- Christian Science Monitor "An impressive and vital new book, or better yet, just call it 'impressive and vital...' meets a demanding test of objectivity." -- Washington Post "An admirable job of separating what is fact...from supposition, what is theory from what is documented evidence. For that alone, the book is valuable." -- New Republic "Nobody - not Ian Fleming, not Agatha Christie - could have concocted a murder mystery/spy thriller as intriguing as the Karen Silkwood story." -- The Trial Diplomacy Journal "First-rate reporting and tight, edgy writing." -- Kirkus Reviews "A true-life thriller... raises serious and disturbing questions." -- Playboy "Exciting...important." -- Boston Globe "A powerful indictment of one nuclear corporation and the nuclear industry as a whole." -- Library Journal "Chilling." -- Atlantic Monthly "Suspense is ever-present. Shocks are electric." -- San Francisco Chronicle "This jam-packed little thriller has all the elements of a best-selling novel...There is one catch. It's all true." -- Florida Sun-Sentinel
