Maggiori informazioni sul libro
In 2013, Edward Snowden ignited a global debate by providing journalists with a trove of classified files that exposed the extent of U.S. government surveillance on communications. This revelation earned Barton Gellman, Laura Poitras, and Glenn Greenwald a Pulitzer Prize for public service. Gellman, who continued to investigate the implications of Snowden's disclosures, explored the methods and reach of the U.S. surveillance state, revealing discrepancies between the myths and realities surrounding Snowden. While Gellman shows respect for Snowden, his account is not a glorification; instead, it offers a crucial and fascinating perspective on the events that unfolded. Dark Mirror serves as Gellman’s comprehensive narrative of his investigative journey, detailing the challenges and dilemmas faced in various settings—from secret intelligence facilities to interactions with legal teams and tech executives. The book paints a vivid picture of national security journalism amid legal threats and foreign intelligence scrutiny. Gellman finds himself in a tense battle against unseen adversaries, adapting their tactics for self-defense. With his characteristic insightful style, Dark Mirror unfolds as a gripping true-life spy story, chronicling the surveillance-industrial revolution and its implications, while providing a dramatic account of a government leak that rivals the intensity of historical journalistic milestones.
