Description

When WikiLeaks came to prominence in 2010 by releasing 2,325,961 top-secret State Department cables, the world saw what the United States really thought about national leaders, friendly dictators, and supposed allies. It also uncovered the dark truths of national policies, human rights violations, covert operations, and cover-ups. The WikiLeaks Files: The World According to US Empire is the first volume to collate these cables with experts and show their historic importance. The book surveys major regions of the world to reveal how the United States has imposed its will. It exposes how it pursues its agenda through a new form of imperialism that uses tactics ranging from torture and military action to trade deals and soft power to expand its influence. It details the close relationship between government and big business in promoting US interests. The WikiLeaks Files is the most comprehensive analysis of State Department cables to date. Assange's introduction discusses ongoing debates about freedom of information, international surveillance, and justice. Regional expert contributors include Dan Beeton, Phyllis Bennis, Michael Busch, Peter Certo, Conn Hallinan, Sarah Harrison, Richard Heydarian, Dahr Jamail, Jake Johnston, Alexander Main, Robert Naiman, Francis Njubi Nesbitt, Linda Pearson, Gareth Porter, Tim Shorrock, Russ Wellen, and Stephen Zunes.
