Top Secret America: The Rise of the New American Security State

By Dana Priest
""The government has built a national security and intelligence system so big, so complex and so hard to manage, no one really knows if it's fulfilling its most important purpose: keeping its citizens safe." As stated on the website of the "Washington Post", that's the thrust of this book, derived from a series that the "Post" published. Two years in the making, the series was written by multiple Pulitzer Prize winner Priest and Arkin, who has reported on national security for more than three decades. Appearing in July 2010, the series has so far received 11 million hits."  (Library Journal)  Check Our Catalog
