Former WikiLeaks Insider and Spokesman Daniel Domscheit-Berg
Authors an Exposé of the “World’s Most Dangerous Website”
In an eye-opening account, Daniel Domscheit-Berg, the former
spokesman of WikiLeaks, reveals never-disclosed details about the
inner workings of the increasingly controversial organization that
has struck fear into governments and business organizations
worldwide and prompted the Pentagon to convene a 120-man task
force. In addition to Germany and the U.S., Inside WikiLeaks will
be published simultaneously in 12 other countries.
Under the pseudonym Daniel Schmitt, Domscheit-Berg was the
effective No. 2 at WikiLeaks and the organization’s most public
face, after Julian Assange. In this book, he reveals the evolution,
finances, and inner tensions of the whistleblower organization,
beginning with his first meeting with Assange in December 2007. He
also describes what led to his September 2010 withdrawal from
WikiLeaks, including his disenchantment with the organization’s
lack of transparency, its abandonment of political neutrality, and
Assange’s increasing concentration of power. What has been made
public so far about WikiLeaks is only a small fraction of the
truth. With Domscheit-Berg’s insider knowledge, he is uniquely able
to tell the full story. A computer scientist who worked in IT
security prior to devoting himself full-time to WikiLeaks, he
remains committed to freedom of information on the Internet. Today
he is working on a more transparent secret-sharing website called
OpenLeaks, developed by former WikiLeaks people, to be launched in
early 2011.
