520 $aWhen the Manville Corporation filed under Chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code in 1982, it was the most financially healthy company ever to do so. Its action temporarily halted product-liability lawsuits brought against the company by the victims of asbestos-related cancer and other diseases. "Outrageous Misconduct" updates Paul Brodeur's remarkable four-part series of articles on the asbestos industry that appeared in "The New Yorker". It examines Manville's unprecedented -- and headline-making -- maneuver; it exposes the efforts of other asbestos manufacturers to avoid compensating asbestos victims; and it reveals the involvement of some of the nation's highest officials in trying to bail out the asbestos industry from its financial and legal difficulties. In "Outrageous Misconduct" Brodeur reveals in depth and detail the story of how Manville and other companies effected a fifty-year coverup of the asbestos hazard. He also tells the story of how a handful of dedicated trial lawyers have pieced together the overwhelming evidence of this coverup and used it in courtrooms across the nation to win hundreds of millions of dollars in damages from the asbestos industry and its insurers. -- From publisher's description.
