WINNER OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE 2021 What will you sacrifice for
the truth? Maria Ressa has spent decades speaking truth to power.
But her work tracking disinformation networks seeded by her own
government, spreading lies to its own citizens laced with anger and
hate, has landed her in trouble with the most powerful man in the
country: President Duterte. Now, hounded by the state, she has
multiple arrest warrants against her name, and a potential 100+
years behind bars to prepare for - while she stands trial for
speaking the truth. How to Stand Up to a Dictator is the story of
how democracy dies by a thousand cuts, and how an invisible atom
bomb has exploded online that is killing our freedoms. It maps a
network of disinformation - a heinous web of cause and effect -
that has netted the globe: from Duterte's drug wars, to America's
Capitol Hill, to Britain's Brexit, to Russian and Chinese
cyber-warfare, to Facebook and Silicon Valley, to our own clicks
and our own votes. Told from the frontline of the digital war, this
is Maria Ressa's urgent cry for us to wake up and hold the line,
before it is too late. Praise for Maria Ressa: Winner of the UNESCO
Press Freedom Award 2021 'A personal hero of mine ... she's an
important warning for the rest of us' Hillary Clinton 'Maria Ressa
is 5ft 2in, but she stands taller than most in her pursuit of the
truth' Amal Clooney 'Maria is a key voice ... she is so incredible
in so many ways' Carole Cadwalladr
