The Hollow Men: A Study in the Politics of Deception by Nicky Hager
5.0
I was recently persuaded to read this book. I had previously avoided it, being of the view that Nicky Hagar's use of leaked documents was lowbrow muck raking.
In fact this book is well researched and incredibly well written. It is a fascinating portrayal ofthe behind the scenes influence of major donors and lobyists.
Many ofthe themes, such as very simple, emotive messaging are equally applicable to the Trump and Brexit campaigns. The applicability of these comparisons some years on are fascinating.
Though the book isn't without bias Hager does point out that similar dealings would be found in other parties. National happened to be the one he had access to.
Superb writing and highly recommended for anyone interested in political strategy.
