{"product_id":"9781626367913","title":"The Most Dangerous Man in the World: The Explosive True Story of Julian Assange and the Lies, Cover-ups and Conspiracies He Exposed","description":"The battle lines are drawn: freedom of speech against the control of the State. The Internet is the battle ground. In this war  there will only be one winner. In \u003ci\u003eThe Most Dangerous Man in the  World\u003c\/i\u003e, award-winning journalist Andrew Fowler talks to Julian Assange, his inner circle, and those disaffected by him, deftly revealing  the story of how a man with a turbulent childhood and brilliance  for computers created a phenomenon that has disrupted the worlds  of both journalism and international politics. From Assange’s early  skirmishes with the “cult” of Scientology in Australia to the release  of 570,000 intercepts of pager messages sent on the day of the September 11th attacks and on to the visual bombshell of the \u003ci\u003eCollateral  Murder\u003c\/i\u003e video showing American soldiers firing on civilians and  Reuters reporters, Fowler takes us from the founding of WikiLeaks  right up to Cablegate and the threat of further leaks in 2011 that he  warns could bring down a major American bank. New information  based on interviews conducted with Assange reveal the possibility  that he has Asperger’s syndrome; the reason U.S. soldier Bradley  Manning turned to an ex-hacker to spill military secrets; and how  Assange helped police remove a “how to make a bomb” book from  the Internet. The mother of one of his children also talks for the  first time about life with Julian when he was setting up WikiLeaks. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e According to the “Pentagon Papers” whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg,  Julian Assange is “the most dangerous man in the world.” But just  who is Julian Assange, and why is his quest for transparency and freedom of the press so dangerous in the eyes of his detractors? In a fascinating account that reads like a Tom Clancy thriller, Fowler reveals  all—what it means, and why it matters. Like \u003ci\u003eThe Looming Tower\u003c\/i\u003e on  9\/11 or \u003ci\u003eThe Lords of Finance\u003c\/i\u003e on the collapse of the US economy, \u003ci\u003eThe  Most Dangerous Man in the World\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive, journalistic account  of a massive global news event that’s changing the face of journalism  and the way governments do business.","brand":"Skyhorse Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134642700528,"sku":"9781626367913","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781626367913_p0.jpg?v=1763862165","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781626367913","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
