A whole country watched him become leader of the political party One Nation in Queensland. Then a whole country watched as he was brought to his knees, forced to resign from a foreign media set up that cost him his career, his reputation and nearly his life.

Now in this tell-all book Steve Dickson breaks his silence and tells the story of his rise from local to federal politics, including the media set up and sting that left people wondering why a foreign agency would spend millions to bury an Australian political party.

This is a story of resilience, politics and the influence of the media for public interest.
