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.
