"Must read" doesn't even begin to cover it...

This is the “untold story” of what it takes to bring accusations against powerful men to light. Kantor and Twohey don’t simply paint a portrait of Weinstein as a monster (though they have plenty of evidence to do just that). Instead, they examine the social mechanisms—the company policies and the power-brokers and the “boy’s club”—that enabled a monster to thrive, unrestrained and without consequences, for decades.

Weinstein’s attempts to stop the story going public are truly astonishing. Kantor and Twohey reveal that he went far above and beyond the well-documented cash settlements attached to menacing non-disclosure agreements. Weinstein waged a war on journalists, and conscripted an army in that effort. Kantor and Twohey, in turn, assembled their own legion of women to fight back.
