People´s Warrior: John Moss and the Fight for Freedom of Information and Consumer Rights - Michael R. Lemov

It is hard to believe today, that there was a time when there was no lawful right to obtain government information, children's toys and other consumer products were not subject to safety standards, motor vehicles were not designed to protect their occupants, and when there was no federal insurance to protect investor money in brokerage accounts. These and other consumer rights came only after fierce battles in the decade from 1966 to 1976. This book focuses on the enactment of these rights and on the unreported and unprecedented life and times of John Moss, one of the towering leaders of the decade. These guarantees, from the government its citizens, are embodied in the Freedom of Information Act, the Consumer Product Safety Act, the Federal Trade Commission Improvements Act, and the Securities Investor Protection Act, among other laws. They are the product of John Moss' tenacious, uphill struggle against overwhelming odds.
