Branded as a whistleblower, Snowden reignited a debate about private citizens who reveal government secrets that should be exposed but may endanger the lives of others. Like the late Karen Silkwood, whose death in a car accident while bringing incriminating evidence against her employer to a meeting with a \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e reporter is still a mystery, Snowden was intent upon revealing the controversial practices of his employer, a government contractor. Rightly or wrongly, Snowden and Silkwood believed that their revelations would save lives. In his riveting, thought-provoking book, Richard Rashke weaves between the lives of these two controversial figures and creates a narrative context for a discussion of what constitutes a citizen’s duty to reveal or not to reveal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Delphinium Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47136784875760,"sku":"9781504025317","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781504025317_p0.jpg?v=1769897221","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781504025317","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
