...A valuable resource for citizens concerned about data collection by government and commercial entities and its impact on privacy.(Booklist) An intense examination of whistleblower Edward Snowden that successfully wades through both partisan rhetoric and ideological constraints . . . Fidler's work is significant because, while events are still playing out, it is actively helping to make sense of this pressing particular American crisis a lot more quickly. An indispensable resource for understanding the Snowden leaks.(Kirkus Reviews)
