The legal action against #JulianAssange is poised to culminate in a #trial in the United States in 2023, and this book will help the #public understand the proceedings.
This new #book by #KevinGosztola, (2/21/2023) who has spent the last decade covering #Assange, #WikiLeaks, and the wider #war on #whistleblowers, tells the full story based on #testimony from dozens of witnesses. It examines #abuses-of-power by the #CIA and the #FBI, including a #spying operation that targeted Assange's #family, #lawyers, and #doctors. It outlines how WikiLeaks exposed the reality of American #wars, the #US #government's #unprecedented #indictment against Assange as a #publisher, and the #media's role in persuading the #public to " #shoot-the-messenger." #Guilty-of-Journalism offers a #balanced and #comprehensive #perspective on all the events leading up to what #press-freedom advocates have called the #trial-of-the-century.
