Edward Snowden, a former CIA employee, thrust himself into the spotlight when he leaked thousands of top secret National Security Agency documents. 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, Snowden was intent upon revealing the controversial practices of his employer, a government contractor. 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.
