Now in paperback: former FDA commissioner David Kessler's non-fiction legal thriller about his agency's fight with Big Tobacco. Dubbed "Eliot Knessler" by The Washington Post, due to the way he resurrected a moribund government agency, FDA Commissioner David Kessler launched a carefully considered, thorough, and aggressive assault against the previously unassailable tobacco industry. His attempt to regulate tobacco as a drug was met with all of the industry's now notorious practices: legal stonewalling, manipulation of "bought" elected officials, intimidation, and outright lies. Kessler tackled all of these challenges with the vigor of a man perhaps outgunned but not outmaneuvered. At the height the FDA's legal battle, U.S. News and World Report called Kessler "somebody you can tell your children about" and compared him to the protagonists of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and To Kill a Mockingbird. Like those classic American stories, A Question of Intent is about the search for truth, the choices people make, and right and wrong. It is about moral courage.

Praise for Smoke in Their Eyes "With the passion and talent that are his trademark, Mike Pertschuk tells the story of the tobacco wars from inside the crusaders’ bunker—how they came remarkably close to victory but why big tobacco won in the end. Read it and weep, but don't just weep. Learn the critical lessons for movement leadership in the future, so improbable victories will happen."—Robert B. Reich, Former Secretary of Labor, Professor of Social and Economic Policy, Brandeis University "Nobody has a broader or clearer understanding of the worldwide anti-tobacco movement than Michael Pertschuk. His inside analysis of how its brightest hour suddenly turned into its darkest moment is an urgent object lesson, teaching that even those firmly on the side of the angels can be consumed by righteousness and self-importance. The U.S. public health community’s failure to seriously blunt the perils of smoking—the nation’s most destructive drug—when it had the tobacco industry reeling is a national tragedy that needed to be chronicled."—Richard Kluger, author of the Pulitzer Prize–winning Ashes to Ashes "A wonderful resource for readers who want to understand the complicated mix of high and low politics that animates progressive, ‘movement’ interest group activity in the United States. Smoke in Their Eyes is his best yet, a treasure trove of insight, and, as always, a compelling read."—Nelson Polsby, Heller Professor of Political Science, UC Berkeley "Certainly the best-written piece of nonfiction in its genre I have ever read. Pertschuk has a gift for taking what could be just another ‘Washington insider’ story and transforming it into the true overarching moral/political/human drama it actually is. I read it through, transfixed, because so much of it is so relevant to my own experiences of forty years in the environmental wars."—Brock Evans, Executive Director, The Endangered Species Coalition "Pertschuk brings great wisdom and keen insight to this sobering tale that should appeal to all those committed to political change and to instructors looking for ways to teach students about the complexity of turning ideals into policy.—Lizabeth Cohen, Howard Mumford Jones Professor of American Studies, Harvard University "When the definitive history of the tobacco control movement is written, this era, this series of events, will constitute one of the central chapters. This book is essential, indeed riveting, reading. Written by one of the most thoughtful observers of the tobacco control scene, himself a major figure in its history, the book offers a trenchant insider’s view of what transpired during those fateful months. Anyone interested in social movements more generally will find herein a vivid lesson, a textbook if you will, of the threats to a movement as it gains steam and resources. This is an important story. It is exceedingly well told."—Kenneth E. Warner, Richard D. Remington Collegiate Professor of Public Health, University of Michigan "Smoke in Their Eyes is that rare combination: a great read yet also packed with insights for anyone interested in the politics of public interest advocacy or legislation or multi-party negotiation or leadership."—Philip B. Heymann, James Barr Ames Professor of Law, Harvard Law School and the Kennedy School of Government "As a case study for popular consumption and for college and university courses, this is as good as it gets—as good as Jonathan Harr’s A Civil Action, and for the same reasons."—William K. Muir Jr. , Professor Emeritus of Political Science, UC Berkeley "Mike Pertschuk is above all a master teacher. He brings an enormous depth of wisdom and experience to this beautifully written volume, and draws conclusions that we must all heed."—Michael Daube, CEO, Western Australian Cancer Society, and Chair, Tobacco Control Program, International Union Against Cancer (UICC)
