In this brilliant nonfiction thriller, ProPublica investigative reporter David McSwane 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. While disaster capitalism is an American tradition as old as the country itself, the speed and degree to which the COVID-19 pandemic devolved was unmatched, and, for millions of Americans, absolutely terrifying. In search of an explanation for how this could have happened, McSwane spent the last year on private jets and in secret warehouses, interviewing both the most treacherous of profiteers and the victims of their crimes. We meet the fraudster who fleeced the government for millions to provide PPE, and never came up with a single mask. The contractor who exposed corporate malpractice and had his funding pulled. And the congressman who slashed federal emergency funding and gutted the federal PPE stockpile. McSwane provides the definite account of the economic, social, and political conditions that led to the gross mishandling of the worst pandemic in a century. Urgent and revelatory, Chasing Pirates is the perfect book for anyone who wonders how things got so bad so quickly, and whether we'll ever be the same.
