HOW TO STAND UP TO A DICTATOR - MARIA RESSA KAR...

*BBC RADIO 4 START OF THE WEEK and GUARDIAN BOOK OF THE YEAR* WINNER OF THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE
2021 What will you sacrifice for the truth? Maria Ressa has spent decades speaking truth to
power. But her work tracking disinformation networks seeded by her own government  spreading
lies to its own citizens laced with anger and hate  has landed her in trouble with the most
powerful man in the country: President Duterte. Now  hounded by the state  she has multiple
arrest warrants against her name  and a potential 100+ years behind bars to prepare for - while
she stands trial for speaking the truth. How to Stand Up to a Dictator is the story of how
democracy dies by a thousand cuts  and how an invisible atom bomb has exploded online that is
killing our freedoms. It maps a network of disinformation - a heinous web of cause and effect -
that has netted the globe: from Duterte's drug wars  to America's Capitol Hill  to Britain's
Brexit  to Russian and Chinese cyber-warfare  to Facebook and Silicon Valley  to our own clicks
and our own votes. Told from the frontline of the digital war  this is Maria Ressa's urgent cry
for us to wake up and hold the line  before it is too late. Praise for Maria Ressa: Winner of
the UNESCO Press Freedom Award 2021 'A personal hero of mine ... she's an important warning for
the rest of us' Hillary Clinton 'Maria Ressa is 5ft 2in  but she stands taller than most in her
pursuit of the truth' Amal Clooney 'Maria is a key voice ... she is so incredible in so many
ways' Carole Cadwalladr
