Paul Hammond interviews Martin Johnson on UCB Radio

Martin Johnson, co-author of The Thalidomide Catastrophe, was invited by UCB Radio to speak about his book and the thalidomide survivors’ campaign for justice. He was interviewed on Wednesday 23rd March by Paul Hammond on his current affairs show, Talking Point, on UCB2.

Sir Harold Evans, former editor of The Sunday Times had previously written: “

This momentous book is the first comprehensive history of thalidomide… It demonstrates how many thousands of victims could have been spared very late in the day if Chemie Grunenthal had taken any notice of the early alarms. … [It] carries conviction by its scientific rigour, and the clarity of the writing. Fifty years after the deaths and sufferings, the thalidomide tragedy is marked by the odour of corruption and cover up.”
