It began with a tantalizing, anonymous email: "I am a senior member of the intelligence community." What followed was the most spectacular intelligence breach ever, brought about by one extraordinary man. Edward Snowden was a 29-year-old computer genius working for the National Security Agency when he shocked the world by exposing the near-universal mass surveillance programs of the United States government. His whistleblowing has shaken the leaders of nations worldwide, and generated a passionate public debate on the dangers of global monitoring and the threat to individual privacy.

Brilliant work

Absolutely brilliant look into the people behind the leaks. A must-read for anybody interested in the NSA whistle-blowing story.
Not only does this book do a brilliant job piecing together a look into who Snowden was in the many years prior to his entry into the public eye, but it delves into the subsequent struggles faced by the news organizations in their efforts to publish.
This book is a perfect companion to Glenn Greenwald's "No Place to Hide".

A great book. The personal stories behind the histories of cryptography and whistleblowing are deeply captivating and profoundly informative. There are times when the book's age shows itself however (e.g. this is a book about whistleblowing and leaks, with no mention of Snowden), but it is well worth the read.
Also, while it could be just me, there were a couple times where it fealt the author was pushing libertarian on the reader/listener a bit too hard (just a few instances, though; don't let that deter you from choosing this book).
