Synopsis
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Laurie Garrett challenges policy makers to create high-quality public health programs that are accessible to all populations. In this argument, she points out several historical events in which plagues broke out in nations where governments suddenly denied their citizens access to health care, such as India's 1994 outbreak of pneumonic plague and Russia's tuberculosis epidemic that occurred after the breakup of the U.S.S.R..

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "No one else got off the train. Thousands got on."
Industry Reviews
"It's hard to know what to credit--Garrett's in-your-face storytelling, her avalanche of historical and contemporary health data, or simple force of will--but her proposition is convincing. By the final pages of [this book], we also believe....At its core, BETRAYAL OF TRUST is a call for international activism long overdue. May its readers include policymakers, finance ministers and global philanthropists. With Garrett's glaring challenge before them, they, too--like the frontline heroes she honors--hold the power to save lives."
De Botton
"Garret is a journalist by profession, but a scholar by instinct....Her message is a momentous one that is delivered persuasively."
Mullan
"Laurie Garrett, a health reporter for Newsday and contributor to The Washington Post, has written a well crafted and meticulously documented treatise on global public health. Before you roll your eyes, let me reassure you: BETRAYAL OF TRUST reads like a Robert Ludlum thriller. Garrett and her critical eye travel from Minneapolis to Kikwit (the Congo), from Sura (India) to Kiev. Nothing escapes her...."
