This is the pre-Libel Edition that was withdrawn due to defamation action by one of the book's subjects. "The book, alleged that a former tourism task force (TTF) spokesman, Chris Brown, was "in business" with the Obeids. Brown said the authors who also mentioned his father John Brown, a former Hawke minister had mistook him for another Chris Brown. 'My legal team has injuncted the book, had it forced off the bookshelves and to be pulped, for a new edition to have corrections included, a public apology to be issued, and in due course for damages, obviously, to be lodged', Brown said. The marketing and publicity director for Random House, Brett Osmond, told Australian Associated Press the book contained a mis-identification. 'We've acted quickly', he said.
