McLibel: Burger Culture On Trial by John Vidal
A gripping account of the McLibel trial - in which McDonald's sued two unemployed activists for libel after they handed out leaflets claiming, among other things, that the burger chain exploited children in its advertising and destroyed rainforests to provide land for cattle - and a savage indictment of how huge corporations use Britain's Draconian libel laws to stifle criticism.
