The killing of Karen silkwood: the story behind the
Excellent book. I have read a lot of books on Karen's life and her achievments. This is far the best one I have read to date. There needs to be more people like her in the world who will stand up for people's rights and what they believe in. It is sad to think she was murdered all because she was going to expose the truth. Too bad she isnt alive today so she can see what she accomplished and how others,and including myself all look up to her. She is definitely somewhere I admire. I wish I could have gotten to know her. She seems like the type of the person who would go to the ends of the earth to make sure her voice and opioin were heard for all of man kind. God Bless you Karen..

Outstanding
I have yet to encounter a non- fiction piece so captivating and hard to put down as The Killing of Karen Silkwood. This book goes far beyond her life as depicted in the movie, and the story behind all the people who believed in her and sacrificed tremendous amounts of time and energy at great personal danger to themselves after her death is phenomenal. What really amazed me was the sheer number of government agencies that were involved in spying on and covering up evidence as revealed through depositions, leaks, and court ordered documents. So many that no one seemed to be able to link them together (not even among themselves) except Silkwood's legal and investigative team. I had no idea so many police type agencies existed. It really is unsettling. The research this author did feels exhausting it is so through. The story goes on for over 10 years after her death, and it is well worth reading. It is alot more than just a private citizen (survivors) suing a private corporation. This book is reprinted after many years since it's original publication with several follow-up chapters added. The added chapters really tease you especially where the author indicated that a confidential inside source revealed that they saw a file that documented that the FBI knew very clearly who killed Karen Silkwood.

The Killing of Karen Silkwood
I also am a whistleblower and have felt my life in danger,also with a chemical company...I have a lot of repoir with Karen,my case is in court. She has not been vindicated,the book was excellent,the fbi,flubbed it as others did as well....
