Inside WikiLeaks: My Time with Julian Assange at the World's Most Dangerous WebsiteFormer Wikileaks insider and spokesman Daniel Domscheit-Berg authors an expose of the "World's Most Dangerous Website." In an eye-opening account, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, the former spokesman of WikiLeaks, reveals never-disclosed details about the inner workings of the increasingly controversial organization that has struck fear into governments and business organizations worldwide, prompting the Pentagon to convene a 120-person task force. Under the pseudonym Daniel Schmitt, Domscheit-Berg was the effective Number 2 at Wikileaks and the organization's public face, after Julian Assange. In this book, he reveals the evolution, finances, and inner tensions of the whistleblower organization, beginning with this first meeting with Assange in December 2007. He also describes what led to his September 2010 withdrawal from WikiLeaks, including his disenchantment with the organization's lack of transparency, its abandonment of political neutrality, and Assange's increasing concentration of power. |
