*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*
A GUARDIAN AND SUNDAY TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR
‘An astonishing book’ James O’Brien
‘A gripping, devastating read’ Sunday Times
The inside story of the UK’s response to the pandemic from the Insight investigations unit at The Sunday Times
Failures of State recounts the extraordinary political decisions taken at the heart of Boris Johnson’s government during the global pandemic.
Fully updated and corroborated by hundreds of sources, this is the insider’s account of how the government sleepwalked into disaster and tried to cover up its role in the tragedy. Thrillingly told, it exposes one of the most scandalous failures of political leadership in British history.
‘A damning indictment’ Alan Johnson, Observer
‘A devastating piece of journalism’ Andrew Marr
‘This is a scandal’ Piers Morgan
