WTF Amazon. Booting WikiLeaks off your servers officially for publishing this documents (FOR FREE), then you go and make a buck off of it?! The sheer audacity of this two-faced behavior is astonishing!
The language in the cables is difficult to understand without an internet connection to Wikipedia for reference and a good dictionary of State Department terminology. Would highly recommend just browsing the cables from WikiLeaks or one of its mirrors directly. That way you can cross-reference the material. In-depth analysis would have been helpful here and would probably have been worth the money, but I guess Amazon is too busy trying to make a buck off of this whole SNAFU.

Cablegate: The Complete Wikileaks Datadump Paperback – December 3, 2010
Sorry, there was a problem loading this page. Try again.
On Sunday 28th November 2010, Wikileaks began publishing 251,287 leaked United States embassy cables, the largest set of confidential documents ever to be released into the public domain. Volume 1 of Cablegate: The Complete Wikileaks Datadump offers an abstract, high-level view of these communications in 200 densely packed pages. Due to the immense volume of material, it was necessary to rely on extremely efficient encoding techniques, with a consequent loss of resolution; as a result, we cannot guarantee that all of the material is legible.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2010How can this data be sold here, when this website considers its publication illegal? This is hypocrisy and cowardice. Please boycott, and get your wikileaks data from their own website or one of its many mirrors.
Thanks for reading. For more information turn your attention to wikileaks, leakspin, or The Guardian.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2010Awesome work of 21st Century Scientific Journalism. Specially interesting is the in-depth discussion contained in the Preface concerning freedom of the press, due process, and the Rule of Law as the defining characteristics without which no regime may consider itself democratic to any extent of the word.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2010How can Amazon sell documents they got for free...? And this after they expelled the source of exactly these documents from their webhosting services? This is just plainly wrong and doesn't put Amazon in a good light at all! Why is Amazon doing some kind of self justice and another arm of Amazon is schizophrenically doing the opposite?
Instead of buying free documents from Amazon that actually works against Wikileaks, please get the original sources from Wikileaks directly.
Thanks for reading
