The Exceptional Courage of Stefania Maurizi

From Rome to Brussels, London to Berlin, phone calls in the dead of night, time sensitive downloads, deserted train stations, high tech encryption, stolen backpacks, deleted government emails, and dingy cafes; investigative journalist Stefania Maurizi transports us into a world of international intrigue, mystery and suspense. She tells a story that will make your heart race and your blood boil. But it’s not the latest best selling spy novel, it’s a factual account of her time spent working in partnership with Wikileaks and Julian Assange.

As she shares her experiences from her work with Wikileaks and her extensive, multi-jurisdictional FOIA investigations she paints a terrifying picture of corruption, incompetent bureaucracy, and outright criminality at the highest levels of government. She gives us insight into the man who has sacrificed so much to shine a light on the hidden injustices that plague our societies. She offers an insider’s view of what it means to be a real journalist in a time when journalism itself is under attack from the most powerful institutions in the world.

Secret Power Wikileaks And Its Enemies is bravely and beautifully written. Stefania’s relentless pursuit of justice and tireless commitment to truth set the standard in journalistic integrity.

As a supporter of Julian Assange and a firm believer in our right to know I consider this book a must read.

“It is up to us to fight. For those who are with us, for those who are not, and even for those who are against us.”
