Choosing to read this book is based on a fundamental question - is Edward Snowden a hero? Most people in the United States have an opinion of Snowden and my guess is that very few people who think he is a hero will be interested in reading this book. Epstein does a very thorough job of describing Snowden's background and then walking through the hours between when Snowden left Honolulu and when he exited the airport in Moscow. Epstein's reporting does an excellent job of asking some basic questions such as why did Snowden take so many documents and how did he as a contractor get access to such high level documents? The book often treads over the same ground and repeatedly makes the same point in different chapters but overall presents a clear and succinct argument that Snowden may not have had the best of intentions. Overall an enjoyable book which made me question my true opinion of Edward Snowden. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

He makes clear that by outsourcing parts of our security apparatus, the government has made classified information far more vulnerable; how Snowden sought employment precisely where he could most easily gain access to the most sensitive classified material; and how, though he claims to have acted to serve his country, Snowden is treated as a prized intelligence asset in Moscow, his new Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
