Captivating, objective and well-written.

I decided to get this book after stumbling upon the movie The Fifth Estate recently. I did read about WikiLeaks and Assange himself back in the day, but never really spent a lot of time on it. Since the movie fascinated me, and we got to see more than one side of the story, I was immediately attracted to the book as well, especially since Assange seemed so critical towards it, claiming it was an attempt to make him look like the bad guy.
After finishing the book, I’m quite puzzled as to why. Yes, there is criticism, but there is also praise. Whether it’s all true, or some it are subjective views of what actually happened is something only the actual parties involved will know.
To me, it seemed like a fairly neutral depiction of one man’s life, lessons learned, friendships made (and lost), as well as doing something good; fighting for a good cause, while ensuring other people’s safety in the process.
