THE INFORMANT BY KURT EICHENWALD is about corporate coverup and misdeeds. I picked this book up at a book sale because I live about two hours away from the city of Decatur. You cant travel the highways of Illinois and not see an ADM truck in your rearview mirror. ADM (Archers Daniels Midland) is a midwest company that works with corn, seed, etc products. And every time I spot one of those ADM semi's I think of this book.
ADM, like many other large corporations have not only local political influence, but nation and world wide influence. ADM just happened to get caught in the lies and was exposed for their shenanigans!
THE INFORMANT, a true story, takes the reader and shows not only the shenanigans of ADM but the subsequent outing of the company by one of their own to the FBI.
I dont read much of the nonfiction genre but THE INFORMANT BY KURT EICHENWALD is written so well and so indepth you cant help but think you are reading a fiction story! THE INFORMANT, in my humble opinion would make a terrific movie!
