McLibel is the unlikely but true story of how a pamphlet called 'What's Wrong with McDonald's?' led to the longest trial in British history. In what has become frontpage news around the globe, the trial pitted the multibillion dollar corporation against five members of London Greenpeace accused by McDonald's of libel. Three activists capitulated and apologized; two persevered.McLibel tells the story of the 'McLibel Two' and the twoandahalfyear trial in which the jeansclad and impoverished defendants represented themselves against the best powderedwig lawyers McDonald's could buy.Does the fastfood chain exploit children? Depress wages? Level South and Central American rain forests? Subject its cattle and chicken to mass slaughters? A final chapter explores these allegations and details the $98,000 verdict against the activists Morris and Steel, which is widely viewed as a moral victory for the defendants and a public relations fiasco for McDonald's.Environmental reporter John Vidal covered all two and a half years of the trial. In the tradition of Michael Moore's Roger and Me, he brings this David and Goliath story to life, shedding light on the corporate machinations of a secretive multinational company, the British legal system, and the implications for any individuals inclined to critique a $30billionayear powerhouse.
