In mid-2017 whispers of executions and cover-ups within Australias most secretive and elite military unit, the SAS, reached Walkley Award-winning journalist Nick McKenzie. He and Chris Masters began an investigation that would not only reveal shocking truths about Ben Roberts-Smith VC but also plunge the reporters into the defamation trial of the century.For five years McKenzie led the investigation, waging an epic battle for the truth to be acknowledged. His fight to reveal the real face of Australias most famous and revered SAS soldier and examine evidence of bullying, intimidation, war crimes, and murder would take him across Australia and to Afghanistan. As he unearthed the secrets Ben Roberts-Smith had thought hed long ago buried, McKenzie had to deal with death threats, powerful forces intent on destroying his career, and attempts to silence brave SAS soldiers, who had witnessed their famous comrade commit unspeakable acts.
