Untitled Chelsea Manning Memoir

A vivid, clear-eyed account of a series of lived experiences that nobody should have had to endure. As well as the story of her leaks and their aftermath, Chelsea discusses what it’s like to work in military intelligence in fascinating detail. This memoir is one of those historical documents that reveal so much about their era. More than that, and most importantly, it tells the truth. An important book written by a brave, fiercely intelligent, and fundamentally principled human being.

A clear-eyed, sometimes painfully straightforward accounting of Chealsea Mannings life. Although everyone rewrites their past, you can feel the goal was to not hagiographise but rather an honest-as-possible accounting of the impacts of Don't Ask Don't Tell, the war on terror, and Mannings disillusion with the war.
