Phake: The Deadly World of Falsified and Substandard Medicines is the culmination of Bate's research and travels both a fascinating first-hand account of the counterfeit drug trade and an incisive policy analysis with important ramifications for decision makers in the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the international World Health Organization."
