Julian Assange - The Unauthorised Autobiography
* It is not hard to see why Assange is now fretting that, in this text, beautifully crafted by Andrew O'Hagan, he has given away too much of himself and said too little about his mission. That is exactly what makes the book such an engrossing read Independent * An intriguing self-portrait ... Assange reveals a lot about himself ... Well worth reading ... Although Mr Assange makes an easy target, he has interesting things to say, however controversial. And the world does sometimes need such annoying, single-minded people to move forward. Mr Assange and his creation, WikiLeaks, have made it a more open and transparent place, and hence a bit more just. Economist * Beautifully textured ... There is something special about him: a scrappiness, a chippiness, a kind of brilliance. Whatever his doubts, he is well served by this book. The Times * It is not hard to see why the WikiLeaker turned so coy. The book, written from interviews with him, reveals an extraordinary character, both inspiring and deeply flawed, who turns on those who fail to see things his way. The Sunday Times * Immensely readable and intriguing FS Tech * It helps, especially through its early chapters, to humanise a genius more sinned against than sinning Evening Standard * Succeeds in providing welcome context to both the cause and the now legendary self-assurance of journalsim's latest bad boy Time Out * A compelling read -- The Guardian
