Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing (2020).

The Windrush Betrayal won the New Statesman and Spectator Book of the Year, was shortlisted for the Orwell Prize for Political Writing, and was longlisted for the Baillie Gifford Prize. 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? Amelia Gentleman's exposé of the Windrush scandal - where thousands of British citizens were wrongly classified as illegal immigrants with life-shattering consequences - shocked the nation and led to the resignation of Amber Rudd as Home Secretary. Here, Gentleman tells the full story for the first time.
