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

**THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER**  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
