Description:
When WikiLeaks came to prominence in 2010 by releasing 2,325,961 top-secret State Department cables, the world saw what the USA really thought about national leaders, friendly dictators & supposed allies. It also discovered the dark truths of national policies, human rights violations, covert operations & cover-ups. *The WikiLeaks Files* is the 1st volume that uses experts to collate the most important cables & show their historic importance. The book explores in a series of chapters covering the major regions of the world how the USA has imposed its will. It reveals how it imposes its agenda on the world: a new form of imperialism that uses a variety of tactics from torture & military action, to trade deals & “soft power,” in order to expand its influence. It shows the details of the close relationship between government & big business in promoting US goods. *The WikiLeaks Files* is the most comprehensive analysis of State department cables to date. Assange's introduction exposes the on-going debates on freedom of information, international surveillance & justice.
