{"product_id":"julian-assange-the-unauthorised-autobiography-9780857863850","title":"Julian Assange: The Unauthorised Autobiography","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn December 2010  Julian Assange signed a contract with Canongate Books to write a book - part memoir  part manifesto - for publication the following year. At the time  Julian said: I hope this book will become one of the unifying documents of our generation. In this highly personal work  I explain our global struggle to force a new relationship between the people and their governments. In the end  the work was to prove too personal... In June 2011  with thirty-eight publishing houses around the world committed to releasing the book  Julian told us he wanted to cancel his contract. We disagree with Julians assessment of the book. We believe it explains both the man and his work  underlining his commitment to the truth. Julian always claimed the book was well written; we agree  and this also encouraged us to make the book available to readers. And the contract? By the time Julian wanted to cancel the deal he had already used the advance money to settle his legal bills. So the contract still stands. We have decided to honour it - and to publish. This book is the unauthorised first draft. It is passionate  provocative and opinionated - like its author. It fulfils the promise of the original proposal and we are proud to publish it. -- Canongate Books\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646871035957,"sku":"ByrdShop_0857863851","price":104.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780857863850.jpg?v=1781679366","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/julian-assange-the-unauthorised-autobiography-9780857863850","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
