Everyone knows the public facts, but public facts aren't necessarily right. There are more myths about this man than any one individual could ever have thought up. Most of the myths bear little relevance to the facts. He's been given every label possible - A Nazi sympathiser, a communist, a fascist, an evil man, an opportunist, a salesman, a romantic - the list is endless, tiresome, but not telling.

There may be an element of truth in almost all the adjectives used to describe John Laws but people would do well to remember that there may equally be an element of truth in none of them. In this book are some of his favourite pieces. By reading them you may be a little closer to understanding the enigmatic, double-edged John Laws.
