Reviews from Readers
This book is a contemporary history of how vaccine inequity unfolded, and gives a blow by blow account of the state and non-state actors who did the most to prevent it and those who let it happen. It is a valuable resource for anyone who wants to study this period in the history of intellectual property and statecraft. It is also a riveting read!

Priti Patnaik covered these negotiations from start to finish and provided reports that were perceptive and well sourced, and constitute a wealth of insight into one of the most important battles over intellectual property rights.

The book is a unique account of almost 4 years of multilateral discussions and negotiations. It is meticulous and captures the promises and unfulfilled expectations of a fraught process pitting the interests of private corporations of the health sector against the urgencies of a health emergency of international proportions.
