Mike Robert returns with a captivating biography of one of history's most remarkable women, Chelsea Manning.
Chelsea Manning is a former United States Army soldier who was convicted by court-martial in July 2013 of violations of the Espionage Act and other offenses, after disclosing to WikiLeaks nearly 750,000 classified, or unclassified but sensitive, military and diplomatic documents. She was sentenced to 35 years at the maximum-security U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth. On January 17, 2017, President Barack Obama commuted Manning's sentence to nearly seven years of confinement dating from her arrest in May 2010.
How did Chelsea Manning emerge from Oklahoma, become an army soldier, get access to sensitive documents and why did she undergo gender transition?
This book is a story about the life of a woman who is changing the world the way no one else can.
