This is a difficult book to review, simply because the story it tells is so disturbing. The task is made doubly difficult by the context in which it has been published – full-scale financial crisis throughout the sector in the UK, accompanied by increased redundancies. A key factor is that overseas students, who once came in droves, are now staying away in droves. As I began this review in November 2024, the Office for Students reported that it expected nearly three-quarters of English universities to be in deficit by the academic year 2025–26.
