'Failures of State' recalls in detail the extraordinary political decisions taken at the heart of Boris Johnson's team during the global pandemic. Liaising with a government whistle-blower and corroborated by a host of inside sources, including scientists, emergency planners, politicians and advisers to Downing Street, this book tells the story of what happened at the top of government before, during and after the most significant health crisis in a century beyond - and details the key day to day decisions (or lack thereof) of some of the most influential people in the country.
