Summary |
In 2018, Russian exile Sergei Skripal and his daughter were nearly killed in an audacious poisoning attempt in Salisbury, England. Soon, the identity of one of the suspects was revealed: he was a Russian spy. This huge investigative coup wasn't pulled off by an intelligence agency or a traditional news outlet. Instead, the scoop came from Bellingcat, the open-source investigative team that is redefining the way we think about news, politics, and the digital future. This book tells the inspiring story of how a college dropout pioneered a new category of reporting and galvanized citizen journalists--working together from their computer screens around the globe--to crack major cases, at a time when fact-based journalism is under assault from authoritarian forces. |
