Minamata – A Warning to the World

Smith, W.Eugene and Aileen M. Smith

Minamata, on the island of Kyushu; a not unfamiliar twentieth century story brilliantly told, beginning, 'This is not an objective book. The first word I would remove from the folklore of journalism is the word objective'; text, medical reports, chronology, and photographs by the veteran photojournalist, who was savagely beaten and almost killed in the process of recording the struggle of the people of Minamata.
