for Investigative Journalism 2022* *Winner of the Premio Angelo
Vassallo Award 2022* 'I want to live in a society where secret
power is accountable to the law and to public opinion for its
atrocities, where it is the war criminals who go to jail, not those
who have the conscience and courage to expose them.' It is 2008,
and Stefania Maurizi, an investigative journalist with a growing
interest in cryptography, starts looking into the little-known
organisation WikiLeaks. Through hushed meetings, encrypted files
and explosive documents, what she discovers sets her on a life-long
journey that takes her deep into the realm of secret power. Working
closely with WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange and his organisation
for her newspaper, Maurizi has spent over a decade investigating
state criminality protected by thick layers of secrecy, while also
embarking on a solitary trench warfare to unearth the facts
underpinning the cruel persecution of Assange and WikiLeaks. With
complex and disturbing insights, Maurizi’s tireless journalism
exposes atrocities, the shameful treatment of Chelsea Manning and
Edward Snowden, on up to the present persecution of WikiLeaks: a
terrifying web of impunity and cover-ups. At the heart of the book
is the brutality of secret power and the unbearable price paid by
Julian Assange, WikiLeaks and truthtellers.
