À propos de ce contenu audio

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 people involved 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.

    'Andrew Fowler's razor-sharp analysis uses extensive research and interviews to explore the government's diplomatic betrayals, alliances and failures, and reveals a complete lack of transparency in major decisions involving gigantic sums of taxpayer money. An eye-opening masterclass in political deceit and the potential consequences.' (The Walkleys)
    'The essential first guide to understanding the origins of the AUKUS agreement. Deeply researched and finely crafted, this book raises important and serious questions about the failure of the Morrison and Albanese governments to undertake the most basic, essential tests of policy due diligence concerning the risks and the feasibility of Australia's aspiration to acquire nuclear-powered submarines.' (James Curran, professor of Modern History at Sydney University and the author of Fighting with America)
    'Andrew Fowler's one-man Commission of Inquiry is a nuclear-armed torpedo of a book and a major service to the Australian public. There is astonishing detail in every chapter. Fowler unearths the evidence, names the names and shows how national security, which should be a goal, is used as a cover for something more sinister.' (Clinton Fernandes, professor of International and Political Studies at the University of New South Wales)
