This book is both mediocre and in its own way dishonest. Rost consistently refers to himself as a former VP of Pfizer - what comes out in the book was that he was a successful VP at Pharmacia. After the buyout he was never formally given a position at Pfizer (in fact he himself admits that he was not formally looking for the VP title at Pfizer but would instead accept a lower title) - but used the law (including whistle blower law) to retain his job. During this period - many days he never bothered to go into the office as he had no functions to complete - he went around talking about pharmaceutical policy and used the cache of the meaningless Pfizer title. His motivation plain and simple was to keep his 6 figure salary. Throughout the book I never thought of him of brave - quite the opposite. He was opportunist and abused a law that was, frankly, developed to allow other to whistleblow on people like him. With the money that Pfizer spent on his pay and the law suit they could have kept several lower paid employees on the pay roll. ( )
