“Open Secrets” is the definitive chronicle of the WikiLeaks documents’ release and the controversy that ensued. It brings together all of the classified diplomatic cables and war logs posted on The Times’s Web site, along with 27 new cables selected for this volume — and substantial analyses of what the documents mean and why they matter. In the introduction, Times executive editor Bill Keller takes readers behind the scenes to explain how and why The Times published the documents. Learn more about WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in a profile by the Pulitzer Prize-winning Times reporter John F. Burns. There are also essays on Bradley Manning, the U.S. Army private suspected of being WikiLeaks’s source, and on what the story has revealed about American diplomacy and government secrecy.
Both a legal and technological thriller, as well as a primer on world politics, “Open Secrets” should be of special interest to anyone interested in one of the most compelling news stories of our day.
