Literary work

In 2013, Rachel Landers was awarded a number of monetary and career inducements by the Government of New South Wales for the ostensible purpose of producing a pseudo-historical exoneration of various police forces that botched up the investigation of the Hilton bombing. Repeatedly, they arrested and prosecuted innocent persons within Ananda Marga. In all of those cases, the accused were ultimately acquitted. In most of the cases, the acquittal came after a miscarriage of justice in which the accused were wrongly convicted and sent to prison. In 2016, Rachel released her work product under the title, Who Bombed the Hilton?

Endorsements

The blurb on the front cover of the Landers book and also, a bit expanded, on the title page of the book is attributed to Anna Funder. Anna bills herself as a human rights activist and advocate of the right to privacy. However, when attempts to contact Anna were made, it turned out that she cannot be reached via the Australian Privacy Foundation, of which she may be on the Advisory Panel. Her endorsement of the Landers book inevitably calls into question the accuracy of Anna's public image.

Critiques

Initial reviews of the Landers book have been scanty and largely negative. The first and currently the only review of the book on Amazon.com dismisses the book as "highly speculative" and "very poor history". The review also cautions that this book is marketed with "false advertising".

Possible film

Though it seems unlikely that the book would be produced as anything other than a fictional work (in poor taste), Rachel has been trying to hawk her book as a potential film.
