Sales Points: - The inside story of Australia’s largest and the world’s second largest proposed coal mine
- Reveals the insidious power and influence of the fossil fuel lobby at all levels of government. The loser is democracy.

- Shows impact of the proposed mine and resistance to it on corporations - the big 4 banks for example
- The Adani campaign has had an impact on voting patterns – the recent Batman by-election in Melbourne is a good example
- The proposed mine is in Queensland but the story is truly national
- Author has interviewed key players including Bob Brown, Geoff Cousins, Adrian Burragubba to write an often gripping narrative
- Includes background on Gautam Adani himself, and the sorry environmental record of his company in India
- Combines analysis and research within a compelling – and shocking – story
- Up to date – author can’t see a path by which the mine could proceed, but warns we should not be complacent
- To be endorsed by legendary environmental campaigners Bob Brown and Bill McKibben
- Quentin Beresford’s previous book The Rise and Fall of Gunns Ltd won the Tasmanian Premier’s 2015 Literary Prize and was longlisted for the Walkley Book Award. He proved himself as a superb media performer and will do the same here.
