When investigative journalism collides with the shadowy world of organised crime, the consequences are explosive — and Without Fear or Favour by Bob Bottom is a riveting first-hand account of exactly that collision. The book chronicles the notorious Age Tapes Affair, uncovers secret police operations, and details the murky underworld of organised crime in Australia, painting a portrait of a nation grappling with corruption at its highest levels. Bottom, already acclaimed as the author of The Godfather in Australia, writes with the unflinching authority of a journalist who has stared down powerful and dangerous adversaries. His prose is urgent and uncompromising, illuminating the systemic rot within institutions meant to uphold justice, and raising profound questions about accountability, press freedom, and the true cost of exposing the truth. For anyone who wants to understand the darker currents running beneath Australia's public life, this work remains as provocative and unsettling as the day it was written.
