Two weeks ago, I reviewed the New York Times? book: ?Open Secrets: WikiLeaks, War and American Diplomacy'. It?s a remarkable work of journalism, combining the paper?s collected reporting on Wikileaks, with editor Bill Keller?s personal account of working with Assange. For my money, Keller?s account was the stand-out highlight of the book - a behind the scenes journalism thriller, punctuated by details from the leaked documents themselves. In fact, as I read through the bulk of the book, I found myself wishing that Keller?s style had continued throughout. Even in edited, compiled form, the revelations from ?Cablegate? and the Iraq war logs are a lot to digest and it would have been wonderful to have Keller as narrator to walk the reader through them all. That didn?t affect my review, though: it was too much to expect the Times to publish that kind of comprehensive narrative so quickly. You can imagine, then, how delighted I was to receive a copy of the Guardian?s new crash-published Wikileaks book and discover that it was all the things I wanted from the Times' book. And more.
