Malcolm Turnbull's Demise and Scott Morrison's Ascension is the inside story of the Liberal Party's leadership coup that toppled Turnbull and installed Morrison as Prime Minister. Drawing on exclusive interviews with key players, the book reveals the behind-the-scenes machinations, the personal rivalries, and the political calculations that led to Turnbull's downfall.

Turnbull, a moderate Liberal, had been elected Prime Minister in 2015 after a bitter leadership contest with Tony Abbott. Abbott, a conservative, had been a polarizing figure, and Turnbull was seen as a more electable leader. However, Turnbull's premiership was dogged by infighting and policy failures. The Liberal Party was deeply divided over issues such as same-sex marriage and climate change, and Turnbull was unable to unite the party behind his leadership.
