A riveting chronicle of confusion, alarm, deception and incompetence. Yet this day-by-day account also reminds us of the many moments of heroism and bravery in the face of a pandemic . . . Unprepared will call forth flashes of recognition, and like many good detective stories, it keeps you asking, ‘Why didn't they see what was coming?’. An essential volume. * E. J. Dionne, Jr., author of CODE RED * Unprepared is the way to step away from the everyday’s-the-same pandemic stupor to see how prescient some were of what was to come and how those warnings were squandered. There are a few wise ones in this story, too many cowards and fools and then the rest of us, who have gradually, willingly fostered a political system that failed. * Bill Bishop, author of THE BIG SORT * Never have our leaders’ words been used to such poignant (and devastating) effect. Powerful and damning. * former Senate Majority Leader, Tom Daschle, author of CRISIS POINT * A damning portrait . . . well-conceived and solidly executed, this is a vital record of an ongoing American crisis. * Publishers Weekly * Thorough and chilling. * New York Post * In the era of overwhelming news and information its helpful to have a book bring together the story so far, from the moment the virus was discovered to the point in the middle of the year where a sixth of Americans had lost their jobs and over 100,000 had been killed. [Unprepared] highlights the perfect storm of this particular virus entering a country where 28 million people have no health insurance during the peak months of one of the most partisan elections in US history. * New York Journal of Books *
