Show Me the Bodies
Book • 2021
Peter Apps' 'Show Me the Bodies' investigates the events, decisions and systemic failures that produced the Grenfell Tower fire.
The book traces deregulation, industry practices, and policy choices that allowed combustible cladding and unsafe building practices to proliferate.
Apps combines reporting, interviews and historical context to argue the disaster was foreseeable and preventable.
He highlights the roles of industry testing, privatized institutions, and cost-cutting decisions in producing lethal building conditions.
The book aims to explain Grenfell as the result of political and economic choices, not an isolated tragedy.
