In June of 2013, Edward Snowden, a 29-year-old former CIA employee,
thrust himself into the spotlight when he leaked thousands of top
secret National Security Agency (NSA) documents to the journalist,
Glen Greenwald. Immediately branded as a whistleblower, Snowden
reignited an international debate about private citizens who reveal
government secrets that 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. In his riveting, thought-provoking book, 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. He asks the question:
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?
