‘No one has written a book like Cuckooland. Serious… but it is also at times very funny'

SUNDAY TIMES, BOOK OF THE WEEK

‘Written as a true-life thriller, Cuckooland reveals a secret world of access and influence, where inconvenient facts can be white-washed if you have the right connections and resources… A vital book for this election year’

ANNE APPLEBAUM

‘I read it in one sitting – and couldn’t put it down. Astonishing’

PETER FRANKOPAN

‘Tom Burgis brings these characters to life in a highly entertaining, readable story that you won’t soon forget. The uncomfortable conclusion you come to from reading this story is that everything seems to be for sale in the UK and most unfortunately, at the top of that list is our integrity’

BILL BROWDER

‘This is the truth about how Britain has been corrupted. Tom Burgis has written perhaps the most urgent and important book of the year’

OLIVER BULLOUGH

‘Tom Burgis is a once in a generation journalistic talent. Do you want to know how the world really works? Pick up this once in a decade book now and take it straight to the till. It will open your eyes into the way we live now’

BEN JUDAH

‘Burgis is a witty Holmes taking us into the secret world of global corruption and geopolitics – a trail that leads right back home to us. As entertaining as it is disturbing and important’

PETER POMERANTSEV

'Cuckooland exposes one of the very gravest dangers of our era: the way the rich and powerful try to suppress the truth and rewrite objective reality. In this lively, scathing account, Burgis fearlessly calls out crooked plutocrats, shameless influence peddlers and the mercenary enablers of the British legal establishment'
