The Most Dangerous Man in the World: Updated Edition Andrew Fowler Julian Assange and WikiLeaks’ Fight for Freedom With forensic detail, Andrew Fowler provides a ringside seat at the epic battle that has made Julian Assange the USA's public enemy number one. Since it was first published, 'The Most Dangerous Man in the World' has been translated and distributed in countries from China to Romania and the USA to Russia. Now, through recent interviews and the latest research, Fowler tells the extraordinary story of how a computer hacker with a turbulent childhood became holed up in London's Ecuador Embassy for seven years, and is now battling extradition to the USA from the notorious maximum security Belmarsh prison in London.
With a new introduction and two new chapters, the updated edition picks up from Assange’s plea for political asylum at the Ecuador Embassy in 2012 and follows through to the present day, ultimately revealing the extent to which the US and its allies will go to silence dissent.
Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg was called 'The Most Dangerous Man in America' by the Nixon White House. In the Trump era, Ellsberg says Julian Assange, whose new journalism has made him powerful enemies, should be proud to be 'The Most Dangerous Man in the World.'
