McSwane narrates an unscrupulous， downright criminal federal buying spree of nonexistent or undeliverable public health supplies meant to protect us from a deadly plague。 Driven by two years of dogged reporting on pandemic contracting， he shows that when a crisis hits， hucksters lurk in the eaves to exploit a morally and administratively depleted government。 Massive public resources were squandered to make a very specific group of people rich - profit making that did incalculable violence to Ame McSwane narrates an unscrupulous， downright criminal federal buying spree of nonexistent or undeliverable public health supplies meant to protect us from a deadly plague。 Driven by two years of dogged reporting on pandemic contracting， he shows that when a crisis hits， hucksters lurk in the eaves to exploit a morally and administratively depleted government。 Massive public resources were squandered to make a very specific group of people rich - profit making that did incalculable violence to American lives。 The author’s reportage and insights amount to an indictment of the American impulse to outsource crucial government functions to untrustworthy and incompetent actors。 McSwane spares no one who deserves sparing， but he focuses on history's most dangerous iteration of a political party， the American GOP， which actively worsened the crisis。 This book will enrage you and， hopefully， spur you to action。 。。。more

Fantastic book that manages to be both entertaining and enraging at the same time。 The author's skill in digging up information that the powerful and those engaged in deception don't want us to know is admirable， and his writing somehow makes even government contracting exciting to read about。 At the same time， he shows empathy and care for the people he writes about。 Highly recommend this book to better understand a sad chapter in our nation's history。 Fantastic book that manages to be both entertaining and enraging at the same time。 The author's skill in digging up information that the powerful and those engaged in deception don't want us to know is admirable， and his writing somehow makes even government contracting exciting to read about。 At the same time， he shows empathy and care for the people he writes about。 Highly recommend this book to better understand a sad chapter in our nation's history。 。。。more
