How do you pack for a one-way journey back to a country you left when
you were eleven and have not visited for fifty years?
'[Gentleman's] reporting proves why an independent press is so vital.'
Reni Eddo-Lodge
'A timely reminder of what truly great journalists can achieve.' David
Olusoga
'It is impossible to overstate the importance of this heartbreaking
book.' James O'Brien
Amelia Gentleman's exposé of the Windrush scandal shocked the nation,
and led to the resignation of Amber Rudd as Home Secretary. Her
tenacious reporting revealed how the government's 'hostile environment'
immigration policy had led to thousands of law-abiding people being
wrongly classified as illegal immigrants, with many being removed from
the country, and many more losing their homes and their jobs.
In The Windrush Betrayal, Gentleman tells the full story of her
investigation for the first time. Her writing shines a light on the
people directly affected by the scandal and illustrates the devastating
effect of politicians becoming so disconnected from the world outside
Westminster that they become oblivious to the impact of their policy
decisions. This is a vitally important account that exposes deeply
disturbing truths about modern Britain.
'Gentleman boldly chronicles the devastating reality of a scandal that
illegalised, imbruted and abandoned British citizens [w]ith the same
tenacity that she used to expose the truth of Windrush in the first
place'. David Lammy MP
General
