On 14 June 2017, a 24-storey block of flats went up in flames.
The fire climbed up cladding as flammable as solid petrol. Fire doors failed to self-close. No alarm rang out to warn sleeping residents. As smoke seeped into their homes, all were told to ‘stay put’. Many did – and they died.
It was a disaster decades in the making.
Peter Apps exposes how a steady stream of deregulation, corporate greed and institutional indifference caused this tragedy. It is the story of a grieving community forsaken by our government, a community still waiting for change.
“However painful the story of Grenfell is, it is one we must hear. Apps' powerful testament tells us how injustice was manifested and how lessons still fail to be learned.” - David Lammy MP
“A staggering achievement, both a testament to the victims, the bereaved and the community of Grenfell and a painstaking, forensic investigation into the causes of the crime itself.” - David Peace, author of the Red Riding Quartet
“Compelling, rigorous, utterly forensic and so very needed. This book has to be the moment that things change.” - Lucy Easthope, author of When the Dust Settles©2022 Peter Apps (P)2023 W. F.

I received a signed paperback at a Building Safety Forum, Sapps work here is bold and necessary. The legislation changes are too little too late and still revolving around finance over safety. I downloaded the accompanying audiobook to carry on listening in the car as I couldn't put it down.

The only slight downside to the audio version is the sometimes unnecessary accents when reading quotations. These were read verbatim at the enquiry without the need to make them sound like character dialogue.

Thorough, unsettling exposé and real life horror

An incredible account of how Grenfell was not only able to happen but destined to, as the husband who’s partner has to use a wheelchair to get around, every person in charge of the health and safety of any blocks of flats, or any social or private rented properties should have to listen to this, and learn the human costs of what their money savings can cause.

Emotional rollercoaster of facts

A read/listen that hits deep. A view of the event and some of the things after. Would be good to get an additional few chapters in a couple of years time.

The heartfelt approach

Exposes an extremely broken system which let people needlessly die. Very well written and explained in detail simple to understand.

Broken System

A sobbering read which will make you quite angry.

How our civilisation prioritises profit over humans and how we let this tragedy happen on our watch.
Makes me ashamed to work in the construction sector and it took these deaths and the ones before to seriously overhaul the system.

To the 72, their families and anyone affected, you will always been in our hearts.
