lelandbuck 's review for:

Permanent Record by Edward Snowden
4.0

I wasn’t at all sure if I should read this book, — certainly not at a time of a contested election — but I’m quite glad I did. I found it surprisingly interesting, and not just a self-defense statement from a politically charged individual. In fact, it was refreshingly free of political position. It was informative, rich with personal history, and quite accurate and generous with technical details. It gave me a new appreciation for Snowden without forcing me to take a position on the legal violations that brought him notoriety.

But I’ll just say, if he wrote another book, I’d but it and read it.
