The thalidomide catastrophe :

Johnson, Martin, BD,

The thalidomide catastrophe : how it happened, who was responsible and why the search for justice continues after more than six decades / Martin Johnson, Raymond G. Stokes, Tobias Arndt. - 263 pages : illustrations, photographs

1. A preventable disaster -- 2. Setting the scene -- 3. An organisation for disaster -- 4. Mechanism for mayhem -- 5. Grünenthal is 'very sorry' -- 6. Trying for justice (1) -- 7. Trying for justice (2) -- 8. Thalidomide - from 1961 to the present.

“This momentous book is the first comprehensive history of thalidomide… It demonstrates how many thousands of victims could have been spared very late in the day if Chemie Grunenthal had taken any notice of the early alarms. … [It] carries conviction by its scientific rigour, and the clarity of the writing. Fifty years after the deaths and sufferings, the thalidomide tragedy is marked by the odour of corruption and cover up.” -- https://www.onwardsandupwards.org/the-thalidomide-catastrophe/?v=79cba1185463
