This book is a relevant today as it was when published n 1962. It is a compelling examination of the use of chemicals as a means of combating insects, of greedy manufacturers and investors, of governments that are out of control, and of scientists who sell out to the highest bidder. All this while potentially more effective controls have been known for decades (at least).
