This excellent monograph carefully examines and critiques "recoupment" lawsuits in the tobacco and gun manufacturing industries and shows the essential need to end such abuses of the legal system. Author Michael Krauss, a leading scholar on the relationship between tort law and personal freedoms, systematically dissects the tobacco and firearm recoupment lawsuits to show how such lawsuits betray the criterion of sound and effective tort law.
