Whitewash: The Story of a Weed Killer, Cancer, and the Corruption of Science by Carey Gillam is an investigative nonfiction book about glyphosate, the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide, and the larger system that allowed it to become one of the most widely used chemicals in modern agriculture. Written by an experienced journalist, the book examines how corporate influence, regulatory weakness, and selective science shaped public understanding of the product’s risks. Rather than treating the issue as a simple dispute over one pesticide, Gillam presents it as a case study in how scientific evidence can be managed, disputed, and obscured when powerful commercial interests are at stake. The book combines reporting on farm families, scientific controversy, and policy failures to argue that the public was not given a fully transparent picture of glyphosate’s potential health effects, especially its connection to cancer concerns and environmental exposure.
