About this listen

 It was the biggest leak in history. WikiLeaks infuriated the world's greatest superpower, embarrassed the British royal family and helped cause a revolution in Africa. The man behind it was Julian Assange, one of the strangest figures ever to become a worldwide celebrity. Was he an internet messiah or a cyber-terrorist? Information freedom fighter or sex criminal? The debate would echo around the globe as US politicians called for his assassination. Award-winning Guardian journalists David Leigh and Luke Harding have been at the centre of a unique publishing drama that involved the release of some 250,000 secret diplomatic cables and classified files from the Afghan and Iraq wars. At one point the platinum-haired hacker was hiding from the CIA in David Leigh's London house. Now, together with the paper's investigative reporting team, Leigh and Harding reveal the startling inside story of the man and the leak.©2011 David Leigh & Luke Harding (P)2011 Penguin Audio Freedom & Security Politics & Government Words, Language & Grammar Writing & Publishing Middle East Espionage Iran Africa

Critic reviews

"This pair of Guardian journalists provide excellent detail about the mechanics of the Wikileaks operation." (Stephen Robinson, Sunday Times)
All stars
Most relevant
The narration was monotone and the ending was abrupt. At times it lost track of its relation to wikileaks

Disjointed and all over the place.
