Produktbeschreibung
An eye-opening account of government failings during the COVID-19 pandemic, written by one of the UK's top journalists. In Unfit, Hugh Pym takes readers on a gripping journey to the heart of the COVID-19 crisis. From the early days of the pandemic to the dramatic revelations of the UK COVID-19 Inquiry, he exposes the failings of the British state and the Whitehall machine. This hard-hitting exposé draws on untold stories from the corridors of power, providing an insider's perspective on the drama, personalities and critical decision-making processes. Going beyond individual accounts, it presents a comprehensive assessment of the UK's preparedness, lockdown measures and response strategies. A tale of resilience and devastating consequences, Unfit challenges the very foundations of the UK's response to the pandemic, leaving no stone unturned in its quest for truth. Finally, it looks ahead to ask what is in store for the future of the NHS.
