Assange signs book deals worth over £1m

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says he is reluctantly writing his autobiography becasue he has to defend himself.

(FT) -- Julian Assange has signed book deals worth more than £1m in the US and UK, to allow the WikiLeaks founder to cover his legal fees and maintain the whistleblowing site.

He will be racing a disgruntled former colleague to release an autobiography telling his side of the WikiLeaks story. Both books are to be published by divisions of Random House next year.
