Book Launch: Nuked by Andrew Fowler (NSW)

Join us on Thursday 4 July 2024 to celebrate the launch of Nuked by Andrew Fowler at Berkelouw Books Paddington. Andrew will be in conversation with James Curran to discuss the book.

About the book:

The spectacular fallout from Australia's duplicitous AUKUS deal

Like all military acquisition programs worth billions of dollars, Australia's decision to buy a new submarine fleet was expected to be a torturous process. But no one could have predicted the trail of wreckage it left behind, from the boulevards of Paris to the dockyards of Adelaide, as deep inside the Australian Government a secret group conspired to overthrow the winning French bid.

In this tale of treachery and intrigue, Andrew Fowler exposes the lies and deception that so outraged the President of France. Interviewing many of the main players and talking to sources in Paris, London, Washington and Canberra, Fowler pieces together the plot to sink the French and switch to a nuclear-powered US submarine - a botched operation that severely compromised Australia's ability to defend itself.
