Julian Assange : The Unauthorised Autobiography
Paperback Edition: 1
'We had the activist experience and the will to disempower. We had our laptops and our passports. We had servers in different countries. We knew that we would be the most secure platform for whistleblowers the world had ever known. We had gumption. We had philosophy. Game on.'
WikiLeaks has helped redefine our idea of investigative journalism and our understanding of how information should be disseminated. Julian Assange, the visionary creator of and driving force behind this new publishing phenomenon, has a unique perspective on how WikiLeaks has evolved into one of today's most influential and fearless news organisations.
In this revelatory account, Assange expands on the philosophies that underpin his stateless, ground-breaking media company. He draws on his own fascinating life story and offers compelling insights into the mercurial and highly driven man who has forced us to radically rethink such basic ideas as transparency, democracy and power.
