What Cablegate tells us about the reach and ambitions of US Empire. Published in collaboration with WikiLeaks.WikiLeaks came to prominence in 2010 with the release of 251,287 top-secret State Department cables, which revealed to the world what the US government really thinks about national leaders, friendly dictators, and supposed allies. It brought to the surface the dark truths of crimes committed in our name: human rights violations, covert operations, and cover-ups.
The WikiLeaks Files exposes the machinations of the United States as it imposes a new form of imperialism on the world, one founded on tactics from torture to military action, to trade deals and "soft power," in the perpetual pursuit of expanding influence. The book also includes an introduction by Julian Assange examining the ongoing debates about freedom of information, international surveillance, and justice.
An introduction by Julian Assange-writing on the subject for the first time-exposes the ongoing debates about freedom of information, international surveillance, and justice.
With contributions by Dan Beeton, Phyllis Bennis, Michael Busch, Peter Certo, Conn Hallinan, Sarah Harrison, Richard Heydarian, Dahr Jamail, Jake Johnston, Alexander Main, Robert Naiman, Francis Njubi Nesbitt, Linda Pearson, Gareth Porter, Tim Shorrock, Russ Wellen, and Stephen Zunes.

Julian Assange, geb. 1971, ist ein australischer Internetaktivist und der prominenteste Sprecher der seit 2006 existierenden Whistleblower-Plattform WikiLeaks. Anfang 2010 veröffentlichte WikiLeaks eine Vielzahl militärischer Dokumente über sogenannte 'Kollateralschäden' bei den bewaffneten Einsätzen der USA in Afghanistan und im Irak. Ende 2010 schließlich sorgte WikiLeaks für Aufsehen durch die Weitergabe von rund einer viertel Million diplomatischer US-Berichte über zahlreiche Regierungsmitglieder in aller Welt ('Cablegate').
