Hit & run

Author of "Unsafe at Any Speed," Nader is a polarizing political activist, lecturer and attorney noted for his work in consumer protection, environmentalism, and government reform. He has been directly credited with the passage of several landmark consumer protection legislation. This book examines the controversial figure in the context of the consumerist movement, the muckraking tradition, the New Left onslaught on the nation's values, proposing that Nader's national socialism has been a harmful force that aims to start a revolution.
