I am very interested in reading "Beyond the Hype: Inside Science’s Biggest Media Scandals From Climategate to Covid" by Fiona Fox.
I was in school, studying environmental science, when this began, and lost track of the scandal after I graduated and found myself unable to find a steady job for several years. The "Climategate" scandal, in a nutshell, was people stealing lots of emails from climate scientists and then selectively releasing them to the media to paint climate scientists as frauds. But it's complicated and consequential enough to warrant a book--especially since this model of media manipulation by bad actors on the right (but I repeat myself) has only grown since then.
