"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 expose of the Windrush scandal - where thousands of British citizens were wrongly classified as illigal immigrants, with life-shattering consequences - shocked the nation and led to the resignation of the home secretary. Here, Gentleman tells the full story for the first time."-- Taken from back cover.
