By Michael R. Lemov - Foreword by Ralph Nader
This book focuses on the enactment of rights to obtain government information and on the unreported and unprecedented life and times of John Moss, one of the towering leaders of the decade. These guarantees, from the government to its citizens, are embodied in the Freedom of Information Act, the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Federal Trade Commission Improvements Act, and the Securities Investor Protection Act, among other laws. They are the product of John Moss's tenacious, uphill struggle against overwhelming odds.
