(Review excerpts from Andrew Gibbs, Senior Editor at BusinessMK) I wanted to express my admiration for the incredible work you've done with your book. Your words resonate deeply, particularly when you say, "I feel in a small way I have helped expose an abusive, secretive intelligence agency culture that uses ruthless tactics at home and abroad." As a reader, you absolutely achieved this. Your detailed exploration of the FBI's practices opened my eyes to their true interests and methods. Your relentless efforts, documented through years of writing letters, filing FOIA requests, engaging with elected representatives in Australia and the USA, raising issues in parliament, and consulting with lawyers, journalists, human rights advocates, regulators, and various staffers, speak volumes. The frustratingly slow or non-existent responses and the eventual bureaucratic dead-ends you encountered highlight the enormous challenges you faced. Yet, you persisted. This unwavering commitment is truly inspiring.

Your narrative about how these experiences infiltrated your life to the extent that you had to move countries is both compelling and courageous. It adds a powerful personal dimension to your book, making it even more relevant and impactful. I believe you've written an exceptionally important book, one that is not only relevant to your audience but also deeply engaging for me. Proofreading it has been a unique experience, and unlike any other project I've worked on, this one is particularly close to my heart. I have immense respect for your activism against such a powerful agency. Your book will undoubtedly serve as a valuable resource for current and future citizens and residents of the USA. It provides crucial insights into their countries' governance and history, and it will help many understand the complexities and the stakes involved.
