'Was Wran corrupt? Did his administration engage in corruption? This book offers a thorough investigation into these questions, examining key incidents that raised doubts about his integrity. Each chapter scrutinizes allegations such as Wran's reluctance to reform the NSW Police Force, his connections with controversial figures like bookmaker Bill Waterhouse, and the Luna Park ghost train fire. It also explores his wealth, the jailing of his minister Rex Jackson, and claims of favoritism. Featuring previously unpublished material and challenging prominent journalists’ work, this book critically reassesses Wran's legacy and the accusations against him.' (Publication summary)
