Description

The story of Bellingcat, a collective of self-taught internet sleuths, is one of modern-day investigative journalism. Founded by Eliot Higgins, a high-school dropout with a kitchen laptop, the group has redefined the way we think about news, politics, and the digital future.

Through in-depth investigations into some of the biggest crimes of our time, Bellingcat has galvanised citizen journalists across the globe to expose war crimes and pick apart disinformation. From the downing of Malaysia Flight 17 to the sourcing of weapons in the Syrian Civil War, and the identification of the Salisbury poisoners, the group's work has shed light on some of the most pressing issues of our era.

This book tells the story of how Bellingcat was created and how it has used cutting-edge tools to analyse data and uncover the truth. With a focus on the most innovative techniques, from virtual-reality software to apps that can identify the exact time a photograph was taken, We Are Bellingcat is a gripping account of modern-day investigative journalism.
