Book Description

The Ivanov Trail - A bizarre and compelling account of espionage, ambition and power play.

Here is the real story of how David Combe, reaching for the big time, came up against a determined prime minister and the government's National Security Commission.

David Marr shows exactly what Combe did to attract the special attention of ASIO, why Ivanov was expelled, and how ASIO thinks, works, and involves itself in the personal lives of Australian citizens.

David Marr's book is both a brilliant exposé of security bungling and a fascinating insight into the way the whole government operates. (back cover)
