Book Description

From historical figures like Dr. Ignaz Semmelweis, Frank Serpico, and The Insider himself Dr. Jeffrey Wigand, whistleblowers have always been on the front lines of rooting out corruption.

The personal sacrifice that they make in bringing the truth to light is rarely told with the detail it deserves.

Investigative journalist Michael Volpe takes a close look at the pain and suffering that goes along with blowing the whistle on corruption.

Whether it's the story of a psychologist that was retaliated against after reporting on a case of suspected child abuse, or the case of a roofer that attempted to blow the whistle on suspected bid rigging only to find a sea of corruption, these stories will amaze, enlighten, and disturb the audience all at once.

Relying on thousands of hours of interviews, first hand experience, and the help of legendary figures like Hans Selye and Emil Kraepelin, Volpe shows how these harrowing stories often lead to trauma, which then leads to PTSD.

Combining investigative journalism, historical analysis, along with psycho-analysis, this book gives the audience a view on both the act of whistleblowing and its traumatic effects in a way it's never been told before.

1.0 out of 5 stars Volpe - investigator or propagandist? September 12, 2013
Since the author began to write about whistleblowers, he has missed troubling facts about his subjects that, when confronted with facts, he does not address. Two of his most famous subjects are Kevin Kuritzky and James Murtagh MD, who were ousted from the Emory School of Medicine for verifiable acts of misconduct.

In 2013 alone, Kuritzky pled guilty to felony charges in Georgia after embezzling $150,000 from a law firm he worked at, while Murtagh was ordered to pay $1 million to Emory for his ongoing misconduct. During Kuritzky's sentencing hearing, his attorney cited at least one previous criminal complaint and Kuritzky's bouts with mental illness.

Despite the fact that court papers are available online, Volpe continues to ignore these facts. Instead, he exploits the names of Galileo, Semmelweis and Wigand to elevate felons and other demonstrably corrupt individuals.

While Volpe has the right to say what he wants, readers have the right to find an author with a bit more credibility before they waste time and money with this book.
