Reseña: *New and Updated edition* It was the biggest leak in history. WikiLeaks infuriated the worlds greatest superpower embarrassed the British royal family and helped cause a revolution in North Africa. The man behind it was Julian Assange one of the strangest figures ever to become a worldwide celebrity. Internet messiah or cyber-terrorist? Information freedom fighter or sex criminal? In this newly updated edition award-winning Guardian journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding follow the story as it takes on ever-weirder twists and turns. In London Assange went to ground in the back bedroom of the Ecuadorian embassy. Meanwhile in a courtroom near Washington the fate of the US army whistleblower Bradley Manning hung in the balance. And in Hawaii a young man named Edward Snowden working as a contractor for the National Security Agency was about to take WikiLeaks into even darker territory. A rip-roaring narrative of secrets tantrums technological wizardry personal betrayal and vengeance. Irish Independent Excellent. Sunday Times Enjoyable... The WikiLeaks founder comes across as a shadowy manipulative character with the habits of a tramp and the brain of a chess grandmaster. Spectator Superbly narrated...unputdownable. Observer
