Publisher's Summary
The Sunday Times best seller
A Guardian and Sunday Times Book of the Year
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.
What the critics say
"A devastating new account of Year COVID exposes the prime minister’s utter failure to meet the nation’s greatest health crisis for a century." (Paul Routledge, Daily Mirror)
"Incredibly reported and wildly damning.... It is impossible to read Failures of State, the frequently jaw-dropping book by Sunday Times journalists Jonathan Calvert and George Arbuthnott, and not conclude that the British people deserved far, far better from the government,." (Marina Hyde, Guardian)
