We Americans take pride in our American Exceptionalism.

Yet the United States failed badly in its management of the COVID Pandemic. As Americans struggled over public health and personal freedom, the United States suffered more COVID deaths than during all its foreign wars, the largest employment loss since the Great Depression, and the greatest increase in national debt since the Second World War. No developed nation had a poorer record.

Understandably, Americans want to move on. The pandemic was too traumatic, its memories too painful.

Yet we owe it to ourselves, and to future generations, to understand why America stumbled so badly during one of our nation's greatest challenges. COVID WARS was written to help answer that question.
