In 2010, the anti-secrecy organization known as WikiLeaks
made headlines around the world when it released thousands
of classified U.S. government diplomatic cables and
battlefield reports. The New York Times played a crucial
role in breaking the WikiLeaks story, and “Open Secrets” is
the definitive chronicle of the documents’ release and the
controversy that ensued. It includes detailed analyses of
the documents by Times correspondents; opinion essays by
Frank Rich, Maureen Dowd and others; and the full text of
all the cables and war logs posted on The Times\'s Web site,
along with 27 new cables selected for this volume. It also
includes an essay in which the executive editor of The
Times, Bill Keller, explains how the newspaper came to
publish documents obtained by WikiLeaks, and why it did;
expanded profiles of Julian Assange, WikiLeaks\'s founder,
and Bradley Manning, the Army private suspected of being his
source; and original essays on what the fracas has revealed
about American diplomacy and government secrecy. A legal and
technological thriller and a primer on world politics, \"Open
Secrets\" is also a field guide to how information and power
are wielded today, and why it matters.
