    About this ebook

    There are few original ideas in politics. In the creation of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange was responsible for one.

    This essay reveals the making of Julian Assange – both his ideas and his world-changing actions. Robert Manne explores Assange's unruly childhood and then his involvement with the revolutionary cypherpunk underground, all the way through to the creation of WikiLeaks. Pulling together the threads of his development, Manne shows how Assange became one of the most influential Australians of our time.

    Short Blacks are gems of recent Australian writing – brisk reads that quicken the pulse and stimulate the mind.

    Robert Manne is professor of politics at La Trobe University and a regular commentator with the Age, the Sydney Morning Herald and ABC radio and television.
