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 & battlefield reports. The New York Times played a crucial role in breaking the WikiLeaks story, & “Open Secrets” is the Definitive chronicle of the documents’ release & the controversy that ensued.

It includes detailed analyses of the documents by Times correspondents; opinion essays by Frank Rich, Maureen Dowd & others; & the full text of all the cables & 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, & why it did; expanded profiles of Julian Assange, WikiLeaks's founder, & Bradley Manning, the Army private suspected of being his source; & original essays on what the fracas has revealed about American diplomacy & government secrecy.

A legal & technological thriller & a primer on world politics, Open Secrets is also a field guide to how information & power are wielded today, & why it matters.
