San Francisco Chronicle For fans of War Dogs and Bad Blood an explosive look inside the rush to profit from the Covid - 19 pandemic from the award - winning Pro Publica reporter who saw it firsthand. The United States federal government spent over $10 billion on medical protective wear and emergency supplies yet as Covid - 19 swept the nation life - saving equipment such as masks gloves and ventilators was nearly impossible to find. In this brilliant nonfiction thriller called revelatory by The Washington Post award - winning investigative reporter J. David Mc Swane takes us behind the scenes to reveal how traders contractors and healthcare companies used one of the darkest moments in American history to fill their pockets. Determined to uncover how this was possible he spent over a year on private jets and in secret warehouses traveling from California to Chicago to Washington DC to interview both the most treacherous of profiteers and the victims of their crimes. Pandemic Inc. is the story of the fraudster who signed a multi - million - dollar contract with the government to provide lifesaving PPE and yet never came up with a single mask. The Navy admiral at the helm of the national hunt for additional medical resources. The Department of Health whistleblower who championed masks early on and was silenced by the government and conservative media. And the politician who callously slashed federal emergency funding and gutted the federal PPE stockpile. Winner of the Goldsmith Prize for Investigative Reporting Mc Swane connects the dots between backdoor deals and the spoils systems to provide the definitive account of how this pandemic was so catastrophically mishandled. Shocking and monumental Pandemic Inc. exposes a system that is both deeply rigged and singularly American.
