WikiLeaks: Inside Julian Assange's War on Secrecy is a gripping and eye-opening book written by award-winning Guardian journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding. This paperback book delves into the biggest leak in history, which infuriated the world's greatest superpower, embarrassed the British royal family, and helped cause a revolution in Africa.
The book explores the man behind the leak, Julian Assange, who became a worldwide celebrity and sparked debates about his true intentions. Was he an internet messiah or a cyber-terrorist? A freedom fighter for information or a sex criminal? These questions were raised as US politicians even called for his assassination.
Leigh and Harding, who were at the center of the unique publishing drama, reveal the inside story of the man and the leak. They were involved in the release of 250,000 secret diplomatic cables and classified files from the Afghan and Iraq wars. At one point, Assange was even hiding from the CIA in Leigh's London house.
With their investigative reporting team, Leigh and Harding provide a reliable and detailed account of the events surrounding WikiLeaks and Julian Assange. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the world of information leaks and the impact they can have on global politics.
