  The shocking story of the case against Australia's most highly decorated soldier, Ben Roberts-Smith VC MG, and the defamation trial of the century. 
   
  With a Victoria Cross and Medal for Gallantry, Ben Roberts-Smith was the most highly decorated Australian soldier, the best of the best. When he returned to civilian life, he became a poster boy for a nation hungry for warrior heroes. He embodied the myth of the classic Anzac, seven-foot-tall and bulletproof. But as his public reputation continued to grow, inside the army rumours were circulating. 
   
  Gold Walkley Award winning journalist Chris Masters was the first to investigate the rumours of summary executions, bloodings and bullying, and began to examine more closely the man we wanted to hero-worship. When the stories hit the headlines, and with a billionaire media baron's backing, Ben Roberts-Smith sued. So commenced the defamation trial of the century, a courtroom contest of tightrope tactics and fierce wit. 
   
  Chris Masters tells the extraordinary story of Ben Roberts-Smith, the man at the centre of this de facto war crimes trial, from the battlegrounds of Afghanistan to the front lines of the Federal Court. 
   
  ‘After 40 years of producing landmark journalism, Masters is still doing it. And he’s still obsessive about the truth, relentless and fearless.’ Nick McKenzie 
   
  'If there was a Victoria Cross for bravery in journalism, Chris Masters deserves to receive it.' Phillip Adams 
   
  'There's seriously no one else in Australia with the knowledge that Chris Masters has in relation to Australian Special Forces in Afghanistan.' Former Commando Major

  Narrated by the author, Matt Ohrt!   
  This book is about employer health plans and everyone who swims in that pond. It is a rare and valuable resource to help employers, advisors, direct primary care practices, direct specialty care practices, hospitals, networks and many others thrive in the model of free market healthcare. 
  After five consecutive years of nearly double-digit healthcare cost increases (the company's third largest overall expense), the trend was becoming unsustainable and the future looked bleak. 
  As the VP of HR, Matt Ohrt decided to try to do something about it. Over the next 6 years, Matt led Merrill Steel on a journey to transform their health plan and save the company and employees millions of dollars in healthcare costs. 
  Thereafter, Matt studied five other mature healthcare success stories in the state of Wisconsin. He got to know the transformational leaders of each of those stories and he researched their strategies and their methods in depth. Through this research, combined with his first-hand experience and success, he developed The Employer Healthcare Success Formula and published this book. It includes a full education on how the healthcare industry really works, and a step-by-step process for all employers to follow to transform their health plan.
