From the back cover: 'West Gate tells the full story about Australia's most controversial disaster. The West Gate Bridge started off as an engineering dream and ended in tragedy, political chaos, and financial farce. When the bridge collapsed in October 1970, a plethora of political back biting, union-management conflits, and environmental conflicts rocketed to the surface... Melbourne Herald reporter Bill Hitchings covered the collapse of the bridge, the subsequent Royal Commission, and all the stormy events leading to the final opening of the bridge in 1978.'
