Summary
'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

What a Tate audio book.
Mind blowing story of how easily people’s minds are manipulated and brainwashed. Eye opening stuff.

The definitive analysis of Andrew Tate
This is the definitive analysis and explanation of Andrew Tate & the phenomenon surrounding him, and the deepest investigation any journalists have done into his alleged criminal behaviour. Everyone should read this - I couldn’t stop listening. Even if you’ve seen Matt and Jamie’s documentaries already, this book adds so much more context. If you haven’t seen the documentaries, you should watch them in combination with reading this book. Hoping they write a follow up in the coming years as the story evolves

Compelling listen you don't fully have to agree with to enjoy.
I was interested in this book because I have been following the Andrew Tate phenomen since his widespread ban from social media platforms.
This book, as well as the documentaries, provide great ballast to Tateism that is most often espoused unchallenged. Having watched the documentaries prior to listening to the audiobook I found that section to be an exciting listen.
I wholeheartedly disagree with one of the other reviews that stated this isn't journalism. The amount of research and travel they did for this is rather impressive. My only contention with the content is the dismissal of the notion we live in a violent world. Ask 10 working class men in Scotland (or central London) if violence shaped their upbringing and worldview and I'm quite sure a lot of the feedback would be it was unavoidable.
The book is really well researched, funny in parts (the urban fox line in particular), delivered well and quite an important read. I'd definitely recommend.

Eye opening and mind boggling
Having seen the documentaries I was keen to know more of what they weren’t able to show due to time constraints. This gives a fuller, clear picture of the insanity of the Tate story, and how dangerous it is that they have been given a voice and platform to spread their mindless macho guff. Great, if disturbing read
