There's not much I can add to the commentary surrounding this book, other than to say I think Nicky Hager is a national treasure, and that this is a book that needs to be read, regardless of which side of the fence you sit. This is not 'a smear from the left' as it's been described by some, but a well-researched, well-argued book about just how tawdry our politics have become, especially on the right.
