Product Description
Since its launch in 2006, WikiLeaks has rapidly grown into the most powerful and influential whistleblowing organisation ever. Its status as a repository and publisher of leaked sensitive and confidential governmental, corporate, organisational or religious documents while preserving the anonymity and untraceability of its contributors, and the statements and behaviour of its leader Julian Assange have made WikiLeaks both daily front page news and a topic of enormous controversy.
In an eye-opening account, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, who joined WikiLeaks in its early days and became its spokesman, reveals never-disclosed details about the inner workings of the organisation that has struck fear into governments and businesses worldwide and prompted the Pentagon to convene a 120-man investigative task force. He also provides a remarkably up-close portrait of Julian Assange himself.
Under the pseudonym Daniel Schmitt, Domscheit-Berg was the effective No. 2 at WikiLeaks and its most public face after Assange. In this book, he tells the backstories of leaks ranging from the Church of Scientology and the Afghanistan and Iraq War logs to Cablegate, and reveals the evolution, finances and inner tensions of the whistleblower organisation, beginning with his first meeting with Assange in December 2007. He also describes what led to his September 2010 withdrawal from WikiLeaks, including his disenchantment with its lack of transparency, its abandonment of political neutrality, and Assange's increasing concentration of power.
What has been made public so far about WikiLeaks is only a small fraction of the truth. With his insider knowledge, Domscheit-Berg is uniquely able to tell the full story.

Format:Paperback
Even though the translation has a few flaws, this book is well worth the money. So far the best book i've read trough 2011, and it's super interesting if you're into WikiLeaks, Julian Assange and Daniel Domscheit-Berg. Go buy!
Format:Paperback
When I read all the negative reviews I thought they could actually be the work of pro-Wikileaks followers. The truth is the book stinks, not with truth but with oozing lame jealous resentment from a geek living in the shadow of a much bigger personality with a much bigger footprint* in contemporary history. The whinny is so in your face that it almost could serve as a textbook on how to make yourself look like a total sore loser in print.
Well, bad news is that it confirms Assange is not the combined reincarnation of Jesus, Buddha and Mother Theresa for those seeking for a perfect role model of an activist. Yet, Tunisia, Egypt, Lybia and counting. Not bad for an imperfect chap, eh Daniel, boy?
Thank God I bought a second-hand copy which was promptly sold back. Waste of time and money if you can't get your money back.
*As they say "big footprint, big..." and as such that will always be a source of envy for some insecure men.

It gives you just what it promises in the title: an insight into WikiLeaks and the relationship of these two men. I found it interesting to read. It was worth buying.

Devastating critique of Julian Assange
This is not, really, a book about WikiLeaks. It is a book about Julian Assange, by the person who worked with him on the project longest. Read more

Reads like a novel. Good fun and a fascinating story. I read the Guardian book on Wikileaks in the same week. Both great books.
