Bad Blood – John Carreyrou

Bad Blood by John Carreyrou

Bad Blood is the riveting true story of Theranos—the Silicon Valley startup once valued at $9 billion—and the charismatic founder who deceived investors, partners, employees, and the public. Investigative journalist John Carreyrou uncovers how Elizabeth Holmes, hailed as the next Steve Jobs, built a medical-tech empire on a device that didn’t work. As faulty blood tests put real patients at risk, Holmes and her second-in-command, Sunny Balwani, fought desperately to silence whistleblowers, crush internal dissent, and intimidate critics. Meticulously reported and fast-paced, this book exposes one of the biggest corporate frauds in modern history and the culture of fear and ambition that fueled it. Buy in Kenya with fast delivery.
