Fascinating account of the rise and fall(?) of Wikileaks. I read it cover to cover over two days.

It clearly recounts the early history of Wikileaks and in a way is the account of a breakup of the relationship between Julian Assange and Daniel Domscheit-Berg. Also it is the story of a start-up. It shows what can be done by two driven guys sleeping on sofas with an old server and a concept to sell to the world. Assange is portrayed as brilliant, eccentric and manipulative and Domscheit-Berg often seems like he longs to return to the good old days when they were close friends.

It's interesting to see what has been left out in this book and how it compares to the Guardian's account. I'm waiting for Assange's book, though I wouldn't be surprised if it never gets finished. This book is may be the closest to the truth that we will know. I'm not sure we'll ever find out what is the whole truth was.
