520    "A remarkable depiction of a city in crisis - based on new,
       behind-the-scenes reporting - that captures the resilience,
       peril, and compassion of the early days of the Covid 
       pandemic In the spring of 2020, COVID-19 arrived in New 
       York City. Before long, America's largest metropolis was 
       at war against a virus that mercilessly swept through its 
       five boroughs. It became apparent that if Covid wasn't 
       somehow halted, the death count in New York alone would be
       in the hundreds of thousands. And if New York's hospitals 
       failed, what chance did the rest of the country have? In 
       The Desperate Hours, award-winning journalist Marie 
       Brenner, having been granted unprecedented 18-month access
       to the entire New York-Presbyterian hospital system, tells
       the story of the doctors, nurses, residents, researchers, 
       and suppliers who tried to save lives across Manhattan, 
       Queens, and Brooklyn and the northern periphery of the 
       city. Drawing on more than 200 interviews, Brenner takes 
       us inside secure ICU units, sealed operating rooms, locked
       executive suites, unknown basement workshops, and 
       makeshift clinics to provide extraordinary witness to the 
       war as it was waged on the front line. But The Desperate 
       Hours is more than a thrilling account of medicine under 
       extreme pressure. It is an intimate portrait of courageous
       men and women coming together in their devotion to duty, 
       their families, each other, and the city they loved more 
       than any other"--|cProvided by publisher.
