INSURANCE NEWSCAST is pleased to initiate a new daily feature, the INSURANCE NEWSCAST “Book Of The Day.” At the end of each newsletter, the daily book chosen will be featured, along with ordering information for convenience.

“Our first book is a perfect example of the benefit to this feature. It showcases a new release that may be of considerable interest to the insurance industry, that might not otherwise be able to climb above the plethora of information that competes for our attention,” said Walt Podgurski, CEO of InsuranceBroadcasting.com

“I am pleased to have this particular book as our first selection since I have met Jim Brown, and am familiar with the circumstances of his story” continued Mr. Podgurski. “I know it will be interesting and of value to the people that read it, and it has some extra relevance in light of the many investigations that have been recently originated.”

The message from Jim Brown is quite simple. If you are in the insurance business, keep your guard up. Brown was one of the country’s most respected regulators. Insurance groups throughout the nation praised the job he did in restoring Louisiana’s reputation as a fair and competitive place to do business.

But he was blind-sided by the Justice Department with charges that are still considered bazaar and without merit. Just read what the New Orleans Times Picayune said last week about Brown’s conviction. The paper said the case against Brown “was incompetent and unscrupulous, the prosecution’s theory of the case utterly preposterous and the trial a travesty.” Pretty strong for the state’s largest paper. As some in the industry have said: “If they can falsify charges against Jim Brown, they can do it to anyone in the insurance business.”

You can order Jim Brown’s new book by phone or on line, and at any book store Call toll free 1-800-339-2010 for phone orders. You can also order it by going to Jim’s new website at http://www.jimbrownla.com. Full information is available on this site plus excerpts from the book. It’s a great Christmas gift, so order your copies soon to beat the holiday rush. JUSTICE DENIED. A book every insurance professional should read. It’s now available at bookstores nationwide.
