DDT Wars: Rescuing Our National Bird, Preventing Cancer, and Creating the Environmental Defense Fund

The DDT Wars is an untold inside story of a decade-long campaign that led to the national ban of the insecticide DDT in 1972.

This book corrects widespread misinformation and disinformation about DDT contamination, which concentrated up food chains and caused birds to lay thin-shelled eggs that broke in nests.

The campaign led to bans of six pesticides by international treaty in 2001, producing lasting changes in American pesticide policies.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in environmental protection and public health.
