The whistleblower's dilemma : Snowden, Silkwood and their quest for the truth / Richard Rashke. by Rashke, Richard L. Delphinium Books, 2015. Call #: 323.445 R224w Subjects Snowden, Edward J., 1983-   Silkwood, Karen, 1946-1974.   Whistle blowing -- Biography.   Leaks (Disclosure of information) -- Moral and ethical aspects.   Government information -- Moral and ethical aspects.   Official secrets -- Moral and ethical aspects.   Confidential communications -- Moral and ethical aspects. ISBN:  9781883285685 (pbk.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  xii, 205 p. ; 21 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. 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?
