Shortlisted for the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction (2000).

Betrayal of Trust examines the dangers of a failing public health system unequipped to handle large-scale global risks like a coronavirus pandemic. The author asks: is our collective health in a state of decline? If so, how dire is this crisis and has the public health system itself contributed to it? Using riveting detail and finely-honed storytelling, exploring outbreaks around the world, Garrett exposes the underbelly of the world's globalization to find out if it can still be assumed that government can and will protect the people's health, or if that trust has been irrevocably broken.
