comes this inspiring memoir that chronicles her career fighting fascism and those who helping to spread it, filled with insights and advice for standing against authoritarian bullies and confronting disinformation and lies.Journalist Maria Ressa has spent decades speaking truth to power, challenging corruption and malfeasance in her native country, the Philippines.
Hounded by the state and its allies using the legal system to silence her, accused of numerous crimes, and charged with cyberlibel for which she was found guilty, Ressa faces years in prison and thousands in fines. At a time when authoritarian threats to the free press and democracy are growing around the world, Ressa’s cause has been embraced by world leaders, including Hilary Clinton, Madeleine Albright, and Amal Clooney, as well as all who cherish journalistic freedom.
Told from the frontline of this critical digital war—a battle that threatens to engulf America itself—is an urgent cry for us to recognize and understand the danger before it is too late.
