A few short years after HIV first entered the world blood supply in the late 1970s and early 1980s, over half the hemophiliacs in the USA were infected with the virus. But this was once excess of just an unforeseeable public health disaster. Negligent doctors, government regulators, and Big Pharma all had a hand in this devastating epidemic.
 
Blood on Their Hands is an inspiring, firsthand account of the legal battles fought on behalf of hemophiliacs who were unwittingly infected with tainted blood. As a part of the team in the back of the key class action litigation filed by the infected, young New Jersey lawyer Eric Weinberg was once faced with a daunting task: to prove the negligence of a powerful, well-connected global industry worth billions. Weinberg and journalist Donna Shaw tell the dramatic story of how idealistic attorneys and their heroic, mortally-in poor health clients fought to reach justice and prevent further infections. A stunning exposé of one of the crucial American medical system’s most shameful debacles, Blood on Their Hands is a rousing reminder that, through perseverance, the sufferers of corporate greed can from time to time achieve great victory.
