Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Original book introduction: Katherine Eban's Bottle of Lies exposes the deceit behind generic-drug manufacturing-and the attendant risks for global health.

Drawing on exclusive accounts from whistleblowers and regulators, as well as thousands of pages of confidential FDA documents, Eban reveals an industry where fraud is rampant, companies routinely falsify data, and executives circumvent almost every principle of safe manufacturing to minimize cost and maximize profit, confident in their ability to fool inspectors.

Meanwhile, patients unwittingly consume medicine with unpredictable and dangerous effects.
