The main thing wrong with this book is the subtitle as it is not so much about Snowden but the journalistic contortions involved to bring his evidence to light. Anybody could probably have written this book as it seems largely based on press publications. Snowden himself had absolutely nothing to do with it. Having said that, not many people could have written it as well. It is an easy read and good timeline of these important revelations and their effect and shows how hard the journalists had to fight to bring it to the public’s attention, at considerable risk to themselves. One probably has to approach some of the details with a pinch of salt but in its attempt to open up the big principles of official snooping vs rights to privacy and press freedom it certainly gets you thinking.
