On 14 June 2017, a small kitchen fire at Grenfell Tower, London quickly enveloped the entire 24-story building, aided by combustible cladding material affixed to its exterior. This and many other factors contributed to the deaths of 72 people. Grenfell Tower became an international symbol of systemic failure within the building industry and the government to protect the lives of high-rise residents. More than five years on, the public inquiry is nearly complete, having taken more than 1,600 witness statements and held more than 300 public hearings. Now, the book Show Me the Bodies: How We Let Grenfell Happen meticulously examines the root causes of the tragedy.
