Tom White's history of the asbestos disaster, mainly in Britain, published by Repeater Books in 2025. It opens with the author's grandfather, a carpenter who died of pleural mesothelioma in 1995. Part I covers asbestos mining in South Africa, manufacturing in the North of England and use in Glasgow. Part II, 'No justice', runs from 1983 to the present. The author asks where opposition to the industry came from and how victims have been treated by employers, the state and insurers.
