It is 2008, and Stefania Maurizi, an investigative journalist with a growing interest in cryptography, starts looking into the little-known organisation WikiLeaks. Through hushed meetings, encrypted files and explosive documents, what she discovers sets her on a life-long journey that takes her deep into the realm of secret power. Working closely with WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange and his organisation for her newspaper, Maurizi has spent over a decade investigating state criminality protected by thick layers of secrecy, while also embarking on a solitary trench warfare to unearth the facts underpinning the cruel persecution of Assange and WikiLeaks. With complex and disturbing insights, Maurizi’s tireless journalism exposes atrocities, the shameful treatment of Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, on up to the present persecution of WikiLeaks: a terrifying web of impunity and cover-ups. At the heart of the book is the brutality of secret power and the unbearable price paid by Julian Assange, WikiLeaks and truthtellers.Language: ItalianCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 26mmItem Weight: 1gAuthor: Stefania MauriziTranslator: Lesli Cavanaugh-BardelliContributor: Ken Loach (Foreword by), Lesli Cavanaugh-Bardelli (Translated by)Genre: Law & PoliticsTopic: Social Sciences, Films & TV, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
