The son of civic-minded immigrant parents, Ralph Nader was taught
from an early age to appreciate the citizen's role in a democracy.
For over four decades, Nader has dedicated his life to challenging
government and industrial practices—from protecting the
environment and battling for consumer and automotive safety to
blowing the whistle on corporate corruption. In spite of
Congressional distaste for Nader, he has sought the presidency
three times, most recently in 2004. His work has inspired countless
others to follow his example, and many foundations he established
and financed continue to challenge corporate, industrial, and
government policies. Marcello has captured the public and private
Nader in a biography that will intrigue students and general
readers. Written with the cooperation of his family, it provides
original insight into an icon. The book includes a timeline of his
life and achievements.
