Set against the backdrop of wartime Australia in 1940, the narrative explores the tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of key government figures, including cabinet ministers. This catastrophe destabilized Robert Menzies' leadership and set the stage for John Curtin's rise to prime minister in 1941. The book also delves into the controversial question of who was piloting the aircraft, illuminating a lesser-known chapter of Australia's political history through Andrew Tink's compelling storytelling.
