Required reading in a corrupt corporate world

By frribciuc "frribciuc" - March 26, 2011

In a world where corporate corruption runs rampant, and taxpayers are often left with enormous bills as a result, understanding and protection of ethical corporate whistleblowing should be an ever-more-important education and policy issue. This book goes some way in that direction, and one can only imagine its power once more Americans will understand its import.

As the title suggests, the book can serve as a policy manual as well as information necessary for any American who functions in a workplace and wants to both perform his/her civic duty, and PROTECT HIS/HER CAREER, OR MORE LIKELY, THEIR CHANCE TO PREVAIL IN COURT ONCE THEIR CAREER IS PREDICTABLY DAMAGED BY A FRAUDULENT EMPLOYER.

There are many good books about "what happens to whistleblowers" (the books by Glazer (older) and Alford (newer) probably lead the pack), highly visible cases (Glazer, as well as Scammell's "Giant Killers"), what drives whistleblowers (Alford), etc). You can glean from some of... read more

The best investment a would-be truth-teller can make

By Charlotte - March 4, 2011

You've heard the saying: honesty pays. It may or may not be true depending on who you are, where you work, and to whom you report wrongdoing. Stephen Kohn's book is exactly as it's marketed: a layperson's guide to blowing the whistle. As Kohn -- a whistleblower's attorney with decades of experience -- reveals, there are many shades of whistleblower laws and statutes, some effective and many not. While I advocate for doing the right thing, I do so only after asking you to read through this guide so that you won't personally have to pay the price for society's well-being. The book is well-arranged and easy to read. Historians will also find information on how these laws came to be, and how they've changed over the years.

A Whistleblowers Perspective

By Jeffery A. Conklin "obstcr" - September 8, 2011

I am a Federal Employee Whistleblower,

I just purchased and read the book "The Whistleblowers Handbook" and I found it a remarkably practical guide that validated many of the conclusions that I have had to make in the (so far) two year process of seeking remedy to my retaliation. I wish I had had this two years ago when I started. It is detailed and technical enough to be useful in a practical way and written in such a way a to be understandable by non-attorneys.

I have had a Whistleblower Case pending as a federal employee over retaliation for the disclosure of laws, rules, and regulations to the agency Inspector General. I wish so much I had had this book when I initiated my complaint.

It was most discouraging (but unfortuantely accurate as I have come to understand it) to see Mr. Kohn describe the federal employees Whistleblower Protection Act as "...generally considered to be one of the weaker whistleblower laws..."

It was most... read more
