Apart from the union and its lawyers, the various authors who wrote books in support were nearly as slimey. Mahon’s book was pathetic. Paul Holme’s efforts did his case more harm than good. All Vette demonstrated was how highly he regarded himself. StuartMacFarlane’s mad ravings (described as “Editorial Comment”) should have been enough to persuade two doctors to sign the necessary committal papers – but in his more lucid moments, MacFarlane demonstrated that he too was capable of a dirty trick or two.
The above selection of books you have read, appear to have given you a great deal of stress. Not sure if it was a result of the authors or their content.

May I recommend the book, "Managing the Risks of Organisational Accidents" (1997) by James Reason. The author is neither a journalist, part time commentator or a High Court Judge.
I guarantee after reading this book, you will re-enter this debate with a more positive outlook on people. You may like to invite PapaHotel6 to join you - sort of a book club thing?
