'This gripping book is destined to become THE book about Andrew Tate' Jon Ronson 'A
fascinating and disturbing investigation' Ian Hislop The behind-the-scenes story of a
four-year investigation into Andrew Tate exploring how a failed reality TV star turned accused
organised criminal managed to become one of the most famous influencers in the world. In 2022
Andrew Tate went from a little-known kickboxer and failed reality TV star to a lifestyle icon
for legions of men and boys and a figure that would define a new era of misogyny. Tate started
the year as a fringe internet celebrity but by August he was the most googled man in the
world. In that same month Matt Shea and Jamie Tahsin gained access to his Bucharest compound
and infamous War Room making a documentary that would result in the first women coming forward
to accuse him publicly of sexual and physical violence. Tate would end the year in a Romanian
jail facing charges of human trafficking rape and being part of an organised crime group. But
the investigations wouldn't stop there. Part Gonzo journalism part masculinity rabbit hole
this book takes you on Shea and Tahsin's journey to reveal the dark secrets of Andrew Tate the
machine that brought him here and the ideology he has unleashed on a generation of young men.
