The Passion of Bradley Manning: The Story Behind the WikiLeaks Whistleblower

Whistleblower's dilemma: secrecy versus transparency.

If you're intrigued by the thin line between treason and heroism, "The Passion of Bradley Manning" could enlighten you. It's a deep dive into the motivations and implications of Manning's actions, questioning not just one man's decisions but the broader ethics of government secrecy. It provokes thought on where the public's right to know stands against national security, making it an essential read in an era where such debates are more relevant than ever.

Description

Bradley Manning was arrested, held in pre-trial confinement, and court-martialed for leaking a large cache of classified government documents, including the controversial 'Collateral Murder' video. An intelligence analyst in the U.S. Army's 10th Mountain Division, Manning's actions sparked a global debate about government secrecy and the public's right to know. This book examines the leaks attributed to Manning from multiple angles—from Tunisia to Guantánamo Bay, from Foggy Bottom to Baghdad to small-town Oklahoma—and asks whether Manning was a traitor or a whistleblower. It questions whether long-term isolation is an outrage to American values or a modern norm, and what real impact new information can have on politics and policy.
