Before Atheneum published Dominion in the late l970's, several publishers dismissed it as "unbelievable". It was one of the first novels to expose the manipulative marketing and research practices of the tobacco industry, based on author Pamela Ferguson's investigative reporting for business journals in London.
When the industry tried to silence her, she wrote Dominion. Prophetic and shocking, Dominion reads like today's headlines. Yet it appeared over twenty years before the tobacco industry faced the states' multimillion dollar lawsuits, senate hearings, and controversial movies like The Insider.
About the Author
