Description
What's wrong with McDonald's?
The McLibel trial, the longest case in English legal history, is an unlikely morality tale of our times. In 1990 McDonald's slapped writs on five London activists for allegedly libelling it in a leaflet entitled What's Wrong With McDonald's?. The multinational giant had not banked on the dogged determination of Helen Steel and David Morris, the two who refused to apologize and turned the tables, putting the corporation itself on trial.
Updated to include the final verdict, McLibel tells the gripping inside story of this epic clash of cultures and allows the public to judge for itself.
The McLibel case shows our civil law working at its expensive worst - a ponderous and leisurely sledgehammer that has been trundled out to crack a nut' JOHN MORTIMER
'John Vidal's excellent - and often hilarious - examination of the epic court clash... enables us to judge the issues for ourselves and to hope that the law is not as McCrackers as it sometimes appears in this gripping book' VAL HENNESSEY, DAILY MAIL
