The ABC journalist Matt Peacock undertook extensive research when writing this book. He interviewed many former employees of James Hardie, some who were suffering mesothelioma, the asbestos related cancer.
Matt Peacock is no stranger to the dangers of asbestos. In 1977 he presented in a radio series warning of the dangers of asbestos.
The book looks at the James Hardie management system over many years and identifies what was known through his many interviews.
Use of James Hardie products have resulted in many persons suffering mesothelioma in Australia.
