The United States Vs. Private Chelsea Manning: A Graphic Account from Inside the Courtroom: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The United States Vs. Private Chelsea Manning: A Graphic Account from Inside the Courtroom" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
Drawing and writing in real time from inside the courtroom, artist and WikiLeaks activist Clark Stoeckley here captures first-hand the extraordinary drama of The United States vs. Private Chelsea Manning, one of the most important and secretive trials in American history.
In the course of the trial, Private Manning insists that her release of the Iraq and Afghanistan war logs to WikiLeaks was an act of conscience, justified by the urgent need to reveal to the world the atrocities committed by the US military in the ostensible cause of freedom. At the prosecution table, military lawyers for the American government seek to set an example and discourage future whistleblowers by locking away Manning for decades, possibly the rest of her life.
Stoeckleys vivid sketches from inside the court and beyond, together with carefully selected transcripts of the proceedings, trace the arguments as they move back and forth between the defence and the prosecution. His rendering of the trial provides both a vital record and a uniquely compelling read.

Preface
Its no easy thing to produce a book like this about the trial of Chelsea Manning.
The trial was conducted in unprecedented secrecy, as the Center for
Constitutional Rights asserted, far more...than even the prosecution of the
alleged 9/11 plotters in Guantanamo. It is only because of the work of people
like Clark Stoeckley and Alexa OBrien that we can begin to appreciate what has
happened. These pages are a precious window into that court room, and that
serious historical event.
For the people who attended the trial, and for the people who watched from
afar, it was an intense period. Chelsea Mannings trial continues to haunt us.
The story is emblematic of the pressing political issues of our time, and the
subject of deeply personal experience for so many.
It is a tall order to capture all of this in a graphic novel, but Clark, Max and
Somerset Bean have done it. The drawings are expressive and haunting. The
court transcripts come alive on the page. They bear powerful witness to the trial
of Americas foremost political prisoner.
Mannings significance as a prisoner of conscience is appreciated around
the world. One day, it will be fully recognized in her own country, and her
persecution will come to an end.

footage from the cockpits of U.S. Army Apache helicopters titled Collateral
Murder miraculously appeared on my computer screen. I knew at that moment
this video would change the course of history and help bring an end to the war
in Iraq. After graduation, I bought a box truck to carry all of my possessions
and became a nomad. To show my gratitude for their disclosure, I decorated
my truck with the WikiLeaks logo and a demand to Release Bradley Manning.
I drove the truck from the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia, where
Manning was confined, to the pika co-op house in Cambridge, Massachusetts
and everywhere important in between. After an autumn and winter residency
at the Occupy encampments in major Northeastern cities, I began covering
Mannings court-martial proceedings at Ft. Meade, Maryland. For the next
eighteen months I helped organize buses and vigils with activists, hitched rides
with fellow journalists, and caught overnight trains to and from the pre-trial
hearings. Dear friends let me crash on their floors and couches in their homes
or motel rooms.

public spectators, and I was allowed to drive on base. My credentials also
afforded me the privilege of sitting on both sides of the gallery, in the jury box,
and inside the remote media operations center where they projected a live feed
of the trial onto a large screen.
as objectively and accurately as I could muster. This was the most secretive
trial in US history. Official transcripts and many of the court filings are still
under seal. Yet I attended thousands of hours of proceedings and drew what

Eventually this information came to my attention. Although I never sought this
knowledge, nor did I confirm it to be fact, I tweeted I dont know how they
