Paperback
Condition: New
Did those who were supposed to protect us from the contagion fulfil their duties – or did they fail to rise to the challenge?
When political rhetoric collided with the grim reality, why did we have to resort to the sort of drastic lockdown measures that were used in the Middle Ages?
In this searing accounts of the origins and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, Barry O’Halloran exposes the extraordinary sequence of events that has led to death, suffering, and economic devastation on a global scale.
About the author: Barry O’Halloran has worked as an investigative television journalist with the Irish state broadcaster, RTE. One of his investigations – into a mother falsely accused of murdering her baby – led to a book, Lost Innocence: the Inside Story of the Kerry Babies Mystery.
