Seventy-two people died in what was the worst residential fire in Britain since World War II. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eCulpable\u003c\/i\u003e is a searing indictment of the government's role in this tragedy. For nearly four decades, the ministers responsible for public safety systematically dismantled regulations through privatization and deregulation, enabling the contractors who made Grenfell Tower a ticking time bomb. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Despite warnings from professionals (including the FBU), politicians from successive governments imposed deregulation in the name of the market and in favor of private profiteers. Meticulously researched and drawing on the extensive findings of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, Culpable sets the record straight and challenges readers to consider the fundamental issues of power and violence that remain unresolved in the aftermath of Grenfell.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Hampton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745351026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745351025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Paul Hampton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46747557822719,"sku":"9780745351025","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1c781f2c-6eea-40e5-8d5a-19587862c39e.jpg?v=1743584113","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/culpable-paul-hampton-9780745351025","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
