What to expect

'This gripping book is destined to become THE book about Andrew Tate' Jon Ronson

'This is the behind the scenes investigation of the world's most famous misogynist (and one of the most famous people) on the internet . . . A fascinating insight into the power of his cult of personality and the dangerous tactics used to silence his critics' Esquire

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 fascinating and disturbing investigation' Ian Hislop
