No Fear: A Whistleblower's Triumph Over Corruption and Retaliation at the EPA
"Intensely gripping. . . . Dr. Marsha Coleman-Adebayo's story refuses to leave the reader's memory. She is a cool force of nature whose example teaches how to stand down fear and victoriously stand up for what is right. More will be right when others join her."  —Ralph Nader"A remarkable book: absolute must reading for anyone who cares about civil rights, whistleblowers, and justice."  —Stephen M. Kohn, executive director, National Whistleblowers Center"A taut legal thriller…Marsha Coleman-Adebayo's memoirNo Fearhad me hooked from the first lines."  —Essence"Marsha Coleman-Adebayo's account of cowardice and betrayal at the EPA demonstrates that heroines like herself are indeed necessary. . . . The same agency that facilitated the poisoning of miners and their families in South Africa allows its own citizens to sicken and die for the sake of corporate profits. Do not ask for whom the whistle blows—it blows for all of us."  —Glen Ford, executive editor,Black Agenda Report"Dr. Coleman-Adebayo presents the public a trenchant critique of how the US government too often not only turns a blind eye, but also enables the worst kinds of human rights practices by its multinational corporations abroad. Her unique insider position and her principled commitment were what made her dangerous to the federal bureaucracy. Thankfully, she did not give up. This book is a must-read if you’re concerned with government accountability and want a rare inside look at the toll willful government negligence can take on individuals, families, and communities."  —Danielle Brian, president, Project on Government Oversight (POGO)"Marsha's insider's account, told with startling clarity, is a call to action. Her courageous accomplishments, especially with the No FEAR legislation and Coalition, have helped to fortify and protect those who take up that call."  —Dr. Willard R. Johnson, MIT professor emeritus of political science "Marsha Coleman-Adebayo clearly and engagingly tells us Americans a truth that we might not want to hear but should."  —Dal LaMagna, author ofRaising Eyebrows: A Failed Entrepreneur Finally Gets It Right"This is an inspiring and worthwhile trek through one woman's brave battle against a system favoring the powerful."  —Kirkus Reviews
