| | | Bamford exposes the existence of the top-secret National security Agency in the bestselling "The Puzzle Palace," and in his follow-up bestseller "Body of Secrets." Now the author discloses inside, often shocking information about the NSA in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks.
Annotation:
Is someone listening in? Maybe. Probably. Yes. In THE SHADOW FACTORY: THE ULTRA-SECRET NSA FROM 9/11 TO THE EAVESDROPPING ON AMERICA, James Bamford, a security expert who has taught at the University of California, Berkeley, continues to write on the National Security Agency (NSA) and the intelligence community. Since 9/11, the NSA has moved beyond its original mission of pursuing intelligence outside the United States. Now, with its vastly expanded domestic spying apparatus, it wages the War on Terror often at the expense of the privacy and civil liberties of ordinary citizens. This is a serious read that will also engage cloak and dagger fans.
| Praise| "At its core and at its best, Bamford's book is a schematic diagram tracing the obsessions and excesses of the Bush administration after 9/11, a valuable complement to the accumulating narratives of torture abroad and legalistic sophistry at home." - Christopher Dickey 01/11/2009 |
