From his own perspective, finally, the real story behind Alan Bond and his rise and fall.
We all think we know Alan Bond. Larger than life - a flamboyant, mesmerising tycoon. A man who went from being Australia's bona fide hero for his Australia 11 yacht win of the America's Cup to a man brought down, jailed for corporate fraud.
At his peak, Alan Bond's business interests ranged from beer to gold, nickel and diamond mines; he was in retailing; he had newspapers and television stations. At his lowest, he was declared bankrupt and imprisoned. But whether you think of Bondy as a criminal or national hero (and the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive) - there is no doubt that he was one of the country's most remarkable businessmen.
Much has been written of him yet public fascination with this man remains. But the myths, the gossip and the apocryphal
stories are at last exposed. Alan Bond wants to set the record straight and is finally telling his side of the story to bestselling author Rob Mundle.
