Under the pseudonym Daniel Schmitt, Domscheit-Berg was the "effective number two" behind Julian Assange at the whistle-blowing website. The Random House Group subsidiary Crown acquired world English rights to Inside Wikileaks: My Time With Julian Assange at the World's Most Dangerous Website from German publisher Ullsteinbuchverlage. Jonathan Cape will publish on February 15, 2011.

The title will reveal the "evolution, finances and inner tensions" within the organisation, beginning with Domscheit-Berg's first meeting with Assange in 2007. It will also describe the circumstances that led to his withdrawal from Wikileaks in September 2010, including his "disenchantment with the organisation’s lack of transparency, its abandonment of political neutrality, and the increasing concentration of power by Julian Assange".
