Summary:
In 2013, Edward
Snowden
, a former CIA employee, leaked thousands of top secret National Security Agency (NSA) documents to a journalist. Immediately branded as a
whistleblower
,
Snowden
reignited an international debate about private citizens who reveal government secrets they feel should be exposed but may endanger the lives of citizens. Like the late Karen
Silkwood
, whose death in a car accident while bringing incriminating evidence against her employer to a meeting with a New York Times reporter, is still a mystery,
Snowden
was intent upon revealing the controversial practices of his employer, a government contractor. Rightly or wrongly,
Snowden
and
Silkwood
believed that
their
revelations would save lives. Author Richard Rashke weaves between the lives of these two controversial figures and creates a narrative context for a discussion of what constitutes a citizen'
s
duty to reveal or not to reveal. Can our government regulators, our politicians, our military-intelligence and our profit-oriented corporations be trusted to protect us from harm as well as safeguard our privacy?
