Praise
“American Poison brings to brilliant life one of the great public health heroes of the 20th century, the fearless and wonderful Alice Hamilton, who stood like few others for the country’s working class. Author Daniel Stone builds his story of Hamilton around her fight to bring recognition to the dangers of leaded gasoline, in the face of bitter industry resistance. The book is thus an essential environmental history. But, equally important, it’s a blazing torch of a tribute to people, like Hamilton, who fight unheralded to make the world safer for the rest of us.”
—Deborah Blum, Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist and New York Times bestselling author of The Poisoner’s Handbook and The Poison Squad
“American Poison is an absolutely first-rate book, in which Daniel Stone displays his impressive research and storytelling prowess to craft a compelling, accessible narrative that I didn’t want to end. With haunting parallels to the story of the radium girls, this book exposes sinister corporate machinations, shocking scientific history and a horrifying lack of ethics—but also inspiring activism and individual courage, in particular by one of the radium girls’ own champions, the indefatigable Alice Hamilton. I found myself quoting it out loud to anyone who would listen. Fascinating, gripping and essential reading for all.”
—Kate Moore, New York Times bestselling author of The Radium Girls and The Woman They Could Not Silence
