The Freedom of Information Act, developed at the height of the Cold
War, highlighted the power struggles between Congress and the
president in that tumultuous era. By drawing on previously unseen
primary source material and exhaustive archival research, this book
reveals the largely untold and fascinating narrative of the
development of the FOIA, and demonstrates how this single policy
issue transformed presidential behaviour. The author explores the
policy's lasting influence on the politics surrounding contemporary
debates on government secrecy, public records and the public's
'right to know', and examines the modern development and use of
'executive privilege'.
