' 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. ' A sobering strange and eye-opening look into
the toxic manosphere. It should be required reading for anybody worried about the rise of incel
culture and Andrew Tate' Zing Tsjeng ' Rarely have I read anything so politically
important that' s also so gripping' Zoe Williams
