In a dramatic account of violence and espionage, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Ronan Farrow exposes serial abusers and a cabal of powerful interests hell-bent on covering up the truth, at any cost.
In 2017, a routine network television investigation led Ronan Farrow to a story only whispered about: one of Hollywood's most powerful producers was a predator, protected by fear, wealth, and a conspiracy of silence. As Farrow drew closer to the truth, shadowy operatives, from high-priced lawyers to elite war-hardened spies, mounted a secret campaign of intimidation, threatening his career, following his every move, and weaponizing an account of abuse in his own family.
All the while, Farrow and his producer faced a degree of resistance they could not explain -- until now. And a trail of clues revealed corruption and cover-ups from Hollywood to Washington and beyond.
This is the untold story of the exotic tactics of surveillance and intimidation deployed by wealthy and connected men to threaten journalists, evade accountability, and silence victims of abuse. And it's the story of the women who risked everything to expose the truth and spark a global movement.
Both a spy thriller and a meticulous work of investigative journalism, Catch and Kill breaks devastating new stories about the rampant abuse of power and sheds far-reaching light on investigations that shook our culture.
##本书行文严谨举证详实到什么地步呢?阅读过程中你能在脑海里自动勾勒出作者的fact-checking sheets来。同时又绝不枯燥,反而非常扣人心弦,将盘根错节的利益集团怎样合力绞杀势单力孤的个体抗争展现得淋漓尽致,读来令人悚然心惊、彻骨恶寒。当我看到Ambra Gutierrez强抑着恐惧为作者播放韦恩斯坦罪证录音时说“I hope the other girls get Justice”,真的忍不住哭成瀑布。对于作者,不必多言,Ronan Farrow 2036!!!【 最后八卦一下,我之前不知道原来Jon Lovett是他男友(现在是未婚夫了),好登对!!!
评分##2019.12.25 开始几章非常难熬,全是name drop,甚至让人觉得Farrow写作也不怎么地。(比他New Yorker稿子差多了)。 没想到后面越写越好。结尾看得落泪… 建议所有有女孩的家长都看一下。性侵会摧毁精神,而周围社会的陈见有多深,二次伤害就有多深(其实男孩家长更应该看)。 性侵:不管之前是否发生过关系,之后是否发生关系,不管之前和多少男人上过床,如果这一次说了不,就是性侵。 “Stories, the big ones, the true ones, can be caught but never be killed."
评分 评分 评分##Farrow关于Harvey Weinstein报道的始末。1. Weinstein的行为真是肆无忌惮,涉及时间之长,人员之广,事件之恶劣令人咂舌 2. 一个新闻媒体的信誉真的是需要传承和坚持,佩服times, 纽约客这样顶住压力,坚持新闻真实的媒体,鄙视NBC的高层3. 拿人钱财与人消灾的除了black cube 这个前以色列特工构成的私人情报机构,还有强大的律师团队和PR团队,NDA,法律诉讼威胁,抹黑对手都是常用伎俩
评分 评分##信息密度低+写作风格碎片化,有收获 但是看着很累
评分##报道的具体细节,但是写的却并不吸引人。各种肮脏的勾结、交易在其中,天下职场一般黑。
评分##I'm interesting! I went to an escape room!!
